Janet Evans Interview

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.

If I remember --- she swims with a straight arm recovery, but has a great under water pull, hence her records!

Almost like asking a road cyclist if they're into mountain biking. :) Different sport entirely. Yeah, but Lance Armstrong has dabbled in both!

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.

Nice story, thanks for sharing. Do you think she'd ever consider open water distance swimming outside of the pool? 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.

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: Seoul ’88: 16 Days of Glory Skip
