    Tanica Jamison is her name. Definitely an outstanding swimmer, but not a "household name" to swimmers like Cullen Jones. The coverage issue seems a little convenient to me. Yes, I realize people like the full body suits and I do too, but men seemed perfectly content to swim in briefs before full body suits were readily available. It seems to me people decided coverage was really important only when the full body suits started to seem faster than briefs. I wouldn't say "perfectly content" but that was the only option men had for years. Once jammers came out, men really seemed to embrace them. Then the next step where the farmer john models, which came out shortly after the jammers. Most men did seem to be content in jammers until the first fastskins were introduced. I'm content swimming in anything...but then again...when you're me, it's easy to feel so confident...:D I think we need a flurry of "State Flag" or "State Emblem" briefs to be worn around the USMS circuit now. Wear your pride on your hide! That's what I say!
