Last night an interview with Janet Evans aired on the Tavis Smiley show on PBS. She is, as always, composed and engaging. Enjoy.

I love it! Janet took me out for my 21st birthday when we were living in Austin at the same time. Always a fun girl. I hope she makes it and swimming changes millions of heads as a result.
Nice story, thanks for sharing.
Do you think she'd ever consider open water distance swimming outside of the pool?
Almost like asking a road cyclist if they're into mountain biking. :) Different sport entirely.
I guess you never know what anyone will do. I never thought I would do open water swimming and I have learned to love it.
I hope she sticks with swimming no matter what happens at Trials.

She was a guest speaker for the Negaunee-Ishpeming, MI, 2 1/4 mile "race" for diabetes. The host tried to persuade her to swim it. She politely, but very firmly declined. That was about 2 years ago.

She's a So Cal girl. I'm sure the idea of diving into a lake in Michigan's UP--summer or otherwise--scared her to death!
Now, does anyone know how to or where to purchase a dvd version of Bud Greenspan's video of the 1988 Olympics? Every kid who swims, should watch it.
Not for sure, but you might see if these folks have it:
