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.
Cynthia, I think your analysis of worlds talk is premature.
The first day and a half, the talk was all about Phelps and Hansen, true. But I've seen online stories lead with Jessica Hardy's performance and Kate Ziegler's performance. Michael and Brendan's wins were not the most important stories.
Just because people aren't actively talking about them doesn't mean we don't know about them.
Go to the USA Swimming chat rooms and you'll see loads of talk about those two girls.
