Michael Mann of Centennial, Colo., flew past his opponents, swaddled shoulder-to-ankle in a black neoprene bodysuit. Mr. Mann, 55, won the 400-meter individual medley race and set a world record for his age group, 55 to 59. Mr. Mann set new world marks in the 200-, 400- and 800-meter freestyle while Mr. Evans steamed.
So it is agreed?
We can drop all prefixes from the descriptor Olympian?
Jim Thornton, non-Olympian is now....
Jim Thornton, Olympian!
On a somewhat related note, I befriended Jason Alexander on Facebook recently. The guy's name really is Jason Alexander, and he was using a picture of George Costanza as his profile picture.

Not that this matters.
I wonder what he'll think when he discovers my title, Jim Thornton, Olympian.
Okay, well, I hope I have contributed something relevant to this discussion.
