  • Janet Evans first made headlines in 1988 as she brought home 4 Olympic Medals after competing as part of the US Olympic Team in Seoul, South Korea; where she not only competed in the 400 and 800 free and 400 IM – but Janet also set a world record in the 400 Metre Freestyle event, finishing in 4:03.85 – all before she turned 18. Evans was one of the youngest to compete in the Seoul Olympics, standing 5’6 and weighing just under 100 lbs when soaking wet – later receiving praise from The New York Times for defying the odds and “Swimming with boundless energy” that allowed the teenager to set rise to stardom while most of her peers were still weighing Post-Secondary School options.
