On USA Swimming's website there is a link to SI.COM where a poll is being run to determine who is the greatest American athlete. This is absolutely one of the most ridiculous polls of all time but perhaps some of you would like to vote or even watch the laughable debate on their video.

Kyra- we certainly seem to be the sport with the most gripe-y aches and pains! We also seem to be the sport most guaranteed to put non-participants to sleep while we earnestly try to explain to them the importance of Phelp's feats, Lochte's upset of Piersol, Hackett's lack of form etc. Thank goodness for the forums to share our enthusiasm and occasional angst for the sport we love.
