Five-times Olympian Dara Torres was "doing fine" after radical knee surgery but was still uncertain if she will swim at the 2012 London Games. "It's a long road ahead of me but I'm glad I finally got the operation over with," the 42-year-old said from her Boston hospital bed. Torres, who has won medals at five different Olympics, had two pieces of cartilage placed into her left knee on Wednesday and will be sidelined for 12-18 months. Torres, who won three silver medals at the Beijing Games, said she would probably wait until next August to make a decision on the Olympics.
