(3 of 3)
A. I asked my brother-in-law if he thought I am crazy. He said, "You've got to be crazy to do what you did in 1972, so whatever you had going for you then is probably still in your brain now." My sister Nancy said, "If he makes the Olympic team, Mark's going to win." And I really believe that.
Q. Win the gold medal?
A. Yes. If I make the Olympic team, I go by my sister's philosophy. I'll win. But unless I make the team, I can't win.
Q. So what are the odds you're going to be in Barcelona in 1992?
A. Before I started swimming, 20%. Now that I've been swimming, I've got a fifty-fifty chance. After I get through swimming in competition for a while, we'll see.
