Fun Fact Face Off Since every athlete has interests outside of swimming,
we want to give you the chance to get to know some of Team USA and
Australia’s top stars – on a more personal level. Each
Thursday from now until the Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool, we
will feature an intriguing match-up between an American and an Aussie.
But instead of looking at the swimming stats, this will be a Face
Off of their interests. Next up: Jason Lezak and Michael Klim.
