Dana Vollmer, who did not qualify for the 2008 Summer Games, set a world record in the 100 fly.
LONDON -- No matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she squinted, Dana Vollmer couldn't find what she was looking for. For the first time in her life, she stood atop an Olympic podium all by herself, a gold medal around her neck, a world record on the scoreboard. And all she wanted was to find her husband and parents in the stands. She scanned the crowd above hoping her eyes would connect with theirs. Maybe she could mouth the words, "thank you." She knew she wouldn't be here without them. They had been there. In the moments where she wanted to give up. When she worried she couldn't do it. When she wondered if her stomach pain would ever go away. And when she feared she would never know the feeling of winning individual Olympic gold.
