Hall, Gangloff headline U.S. Pan Ams Team
Olympic gold medalists Gary Hall Jr. and Mark Gangloff will headline a rich field of American swimming talent that will represent the United States at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 14-22. The top U.S. open water swimmers, including Kalyn Keller, Chloe Sutton, Chip Peterson, and Fran Crippen, will also compete in Brazil. The event will follow the planned Olympic schedule featuring evening preliminary sessions and morning finals. The pool competition begins Monday, July 16 and runs through Sunday, July 22. The men’s and women’s open water swimming competition will take place on July 14. Five-time Olympic gold medalist Hall, 32, will compete in the 50m free at the Pan American Games. Hall made history as the oldest male to win gold in 80 years with his win in the 50m free at the 2004 Olympics. He has been training to qualify for the Olympics in 2008 where he will look to win his third consecutive gold medal in the 50m free. This is Hall’s third Pan American Games appearance. Gangloff is also appearing in his third Pan American Games. He will compete in the men’s 100m breast, the same event he won gold for in 2003, setting a Pan American Games record. SWIMMING ARTICLES
