Swimnetwork seems to think it's for real. I expected to read that she was working out with the FAST crew at her old pool but she has allegedly reunited with Schubert. www.swimnetwork.com/.../Rumors-of-a-Queens-Comeback.aspx

    My daughter asked Janet once why she thought she performed better than anyone else. Janet said she just worked harder. I think that saying swimmers have "talent" just discounts all the work they do. Or you could view what Evan's said (if she said it) as an insult to swimmers who work really really hard and don't make the Olympics ( I don't actuall view it that harshly). (Besides, she got slower. Did she quit working hard?) Everyone knows it takes both. One you are born with the other one is a choice. Some are born with the talent but don't make the choice to do something with it. Some are born without talent but make the choice to try and squeeze everything out of what they got.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see a 4:50-4:55 in the 500 from her this spring. If she's closer to 4:40, then there will be a lot to talk/speculate about.
  • Well, that might make me want to go to ARIZ nats... 'don't see her in the psych sheets:(
  • I read somewhere that she didn't get her entries in on time. She can go in my spot as I'm not going, although I didn't enter any freestyle.
  • Needs to update her website her Career Highlights: say Still holds 400, 800 1500 freestyle World Records I wonder: How much she's training? guess someone could ask her agent evan@pmgsports.com How fast she could go if she totally went for it? How fast those who broke her records would have gone if they wore the same kind of suit?
