I'm surprised no one swam against her. If I lived in Cali and knew she was swimming, I would have entered just to say I swam against her.
According to this article, 2 elderly swimmers scratched - I'm guessing once they found out who they were up against, they decided to give her center stage. Had I known she would be on her own, I would have gone, only to be able to say "I got beat by Janet Evans." She would have lapped me about 9 times but hey, I would have been happy to be swimming alongside her. I started swimming in the summer of 92 - watching her in the Olympics made me want to swim and she's the reason I swim to this day. :agree:
