4 About this Issue
By Nick Thierry
This month we have it all. We had our staff working overtime all over the world this past month. It began with Paul Quinlan covering the Australian Championships in Brisbane. Nikki Dryden and Marco Chiesa went to Long Island, N.Y. to cover the U.S. Spring Nationals, while simultaneously Nick Thierry and Patrick Kraemer cover the World Short Course Champs in Hong Kong.
Our writers Nikki Dryden and Anita Lonsbrough have given us some terrific personality profiles on swimmers Lenny Krayzelburg (USA), Grant Hackett (AUS) and Nadezdha Chemezova (RUS) as well as a personality profile of U.S. Coach Josh Stern.
