Thompson Shines In Japan
Five-time Olympic champion Jenny Thompson finds it easy to win in Japan.
In three trips here for Pan Pacific swimming meets, the 24-year-old American has 12 of her 17 gold medals in the biennial competition she first entered in 1989.
On Tuesday, she collected two golds, winning the 100-meter butterfly and anchoring the 4x100-meter freestyle relay.
With four golds in hand - including two Monday - she swims today in the 50-meter freestyle and the 4x100-meter medley relay.
