Jerry Pockar interviews Olympic Champion Diana Munz (Click on the icon to the left of each question to hear Diana's answer)
	1. You came across as being quite satisfied with the bronze medal you won at the Athens Olympics.
	2. How much was your time off your best?
	3. Are there times when your tactical plan just is not the right tactical plan?
	4. How would you assess your tactical plan for the Olympics?
	5. So 3 workouts a day 3 days a week for 3 months. How long is each workout?
	6. At the distance you're swimming, how does speed relate to aerobic conditioning?
	7. Besides the 800 you also swim the 400 which seems on the cusp between sprints and distance. Is it comparable to running the quarter-mile?
	8. Have you ever gone up to the 1500? And how have you done?
	9. So Athens was a joyful experience. Any high points?
	10. Does competition at that level get nasty ever?
	11. Closing ceremonies? Parties on the beach?
	12. You've been doing this for a long time now. Do you ever get blase about it? Is it still exciting?
	13. Can you tell me about the automobile accident?
	14. That was before Sidney! Tell me about your reconditioning. Did you have to work incredibly harder to get ready for Sidney?
	15. Would you say that in Athens you were not as intense as you had been in Sidney?
	16. Compared with other swimmers who have muscular shoulders, big feet and other unusual physical features, you're small. Are you atypical for swimming?
	17. Tell me about your family.
	18. You said you were involved in many sports as a child. Tell me how swimming started for you
	19. When did someone notice your potential as a swimmer?
	20. Who has been important to your swimming besides your parents -- your coaches?
	21. When did you start the heavy training regimen?
	22. You must have learned along the way that our mental impression of what our physical limits are can be extended, right?
	23. But in order to accomplish what you've done, you've had to learn to transcend limits, isn't that true?
	24. Do you remember the moment when you realized you'd broken into the upper echelon of swimmers?
	25. How has all of the world travel been for you?
	26. What's the secret to your success in swimming?
	27. How long will you continue to compete?
	28. You're majoring in communications. What do you want to do after you graduate?
	29. I gather that mental preparation for competition has not been a problem for you.
	30. Have people at John Carroll been supportive? Helpful?
