A few of my friends have mentioned they've seen Gary swimming at Medgar Evers pool in Seattle. Based on the article, though, it sounds like it might be a hard sell to get him to swim on PNA relays at Nationals. On the other hand, maybe he'll be ready for a trip to the Phoenix area!

While it is nice to see that Gary Jr. is modest about his Olympic accomplishments, I don't have a problem with someone who sacrificed so much, and worked so hard to boast a little. :)
Of course, I don't want them them spouting off at me when I first meet them that "I'm an Olympian" as a former neighbor of mine did, but they should be allowed to talk about what they experienced and how it felt to earn that gold medal (or medals) if people are definitely interested.
