Set your Tivos for Medal Frenzy: Olympians show off their shiny medals on Oprah

Check out the hotness that is Dara Torres and her shiny Olympic medals with Oprah. These women rock my world!

Dara joins her fellow Olympian champs with their medals on Oprah's season opener which is tomorrow, Monday (9/8). And yes folks, over 175 US Olympic medalist all together in one place is a frenzy in a most goose-bumpy way so this show is a MUST watch.

Like Dara, l think female Olympians like Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson, Lisa Leslie, Misty May-Treanor, and Kerri Walsh remind us of the amazing levels of strength, commitment, and power women can reach. I particularly resonate with Dara Torres because she reminds us that "old schmold" is all mental in our youth obsessed culture, and that if you can kick ass, you can kick ass no matter what. Dara inspires me on many levels.

For a quick preview, after the jump, here's some other behind-the-scenes shots of the Olympians with Oprah including yes the astounding Michael Phelps.
