I noticed that when it comes to the worlds mainly Phelps and Hanson are mention. There are other good swimmers out there. No one here talk about the 17 year old girl Kate Ziegler winning the 1500. There are other good swims in worlds but the group seems to have a narrow focus. One reason I stop writing as much on these boards.

No offense, but I think your take is crazy. I have seen many articles about Kate (heck, she just won last night) as well as many other women in the meet. Jessica Hardy was on the front sports page of USA Today in yesterday's edition.
Truth is the Hanson "revenge factor" and anything Michael Phelps does (he happens to be one of the greatest if not the greatest ever) is bigger news too many people. The fact that he looked human on Suday is a big story. The fact that he broke the American Record twodays later is just as big.
