Brooke Bennett Won't Be At Athens

The 2004 Olympics begin tomorrow in Athens, and I hadn't heard anything about American distance swimmer Brooke Bennett, whose experience in the 1996 and 2000 Games you already know about from this blog. It turns out that she won't be at Athens. After shoulder surgery three years ago, she never quite could return to swimming the way she used to, and she got eliminated at the trials in California. To her credit, she was pleased with her effort, and she was happy to have accomplished everything she did.
It seems she really did grow up, after all. :-)
