Interesting, wonder if she's really making a comeback.
I wish her well if she does.
When Dara made her come back she started in masters kind of under the radar, no big announcements to the press. She swam pretty fast in 2006 worlds at stanford on a 4 x 50 relay, think she was 25.8, on not much training. Then she swam with a masters group during and after her pregnancy, she swam in a scy masters meet in April 2007 & went 50 fr 21.9 & 100 fr 48 low. Shortly after that she announced that she was training for 2008 trials and hoped to make the US team for Bejing.
When I told one elite female freestyler about Dara's announcement, this swimmer said
"Well she's not taking my spot."
Dara developed the ability. She was the real deal.
Spitz' 1992 comeback was more hype with not enough ability, he was just out of training for too long.
I wish Janet the best, she was truly great & I'm curious to see what hard training will do for her. I'm also curious how much training she's done during her retirement.
