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!

Not sure it is fair of GH to complain about Spitz. Who sees Spitz talking about 1972? Spitz was visible during the 2008 Olympics only because of Phelps going for 8 golds. Spitz was always cocky, but Hall was ridiculous. Hall was the world's fastest in one event. Spitz simultaneously held the world record in at least 4 individual events plus relays.
I really don't believe Hall and Spitz are even in the same category. Hall was once the best sprinter in the world. Spitz was once the best swimmer in the world.
