Anyone know what's going on with Lindsay Benko and Erik Vendt? Are they done/retired, taking a break, etc.
Did Hall officially retire? Lenny Krayzelburg and Jenny Thompson have both said that they are done? Anyone else from the Athens crew?

I don't think it's been updated recently ... Jenny Thompson has retired and they don't list that, as well as Krayzelburg ... I THINK Malchow might be done he was debating and then had surgery and hasn't been training ...
I'm not saying she isn't beautiful. I agree with you completely. But seriously look at the picture.

Jenny Thompson really needs to retire. She has been on the scene for 55 years!!! Go to medical show or get your hosting gig on some TV show. I respect all that she did but let's see what the up and comers can do.
As long as anyone is still beating the competition, why quit? Gives the "up and comers" something to strive for.
This is going to sound totally cheesy, but oh well ... Jenny Thompson is a hero of mine. I have so much respect for her. It's one thing to go to college and train and try to make an Olympic team. It's another thing all together to go to medical school and make your FOURTH Olympic team in multiple events. I would support her in trying for a fifth team. She is amazing, and a wonderful amabassador for the sport.
If the up and commers can't beat her (which they didn't at trials or the Olympics) then that'll make them work that much harder to get that much better in the future.
Edited to add, yes Kara Lynn Joyce did beat her, but she won her spot, and therefore beat many up and commers that just couldn't quite catch her ...
