Twenty-nine TIME reporters from around the world contributed capsule profiles of these athletes. Torres' extraordinary story of midlife in the fast lane is captured by our own Alice Park, who is headed to Beijing for her fifth Olympics. James' intensity and his promise that he will bring back a gold--"It's the gold or it's failure," he says--are portrayed by writer Sean Gregory, who played basketball for Princeton...

Even with older teenagers, many of these families don't believe in random dating but rather intentional dating, which typically begins with a young man's asking a father for permission to get to know his daughter.
