Does Dana Vollmer retire?
Does Rebecca Soni retire?
Does Natalie Coughlin retire?
Does Kate Ziegler retire?
Does Katie Hoff retire?
Does Brendan Hansen retire?
Does Anthony Ervin retire?
Thank you for the answers. I want to know the future of these legends.
Not 100% sure about this Bobo, but, of all the names, only Hoff and Brendan may retire. I simply don’t know. The last time I interviewed Coughlin, she said she was going to take 2013 Worlds off, then return to training, the way she did after 2008.
Interesting stuff, Mel. Thanks for the insight. I feel like Ziegler may retire though. What do you know about Brendan? I feel like he’s been very successful so far and could continue to not only be successful, but improve since he’s only been back in hard training for what only a year, year and a half?
Dana is the best flyer in the world… all the genders; obviously!
I was saying for a long time ago she was going to break 56 sec wall and a few of you was in belief… now you have to believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
