Untitled[edit]

Jana is committed Christian who attends Hillsong Church

Why was there a weasel on this? Jana's 'drama queen' reputation is in the papers (see external links) and Tamsyn Lewis' page has more weasel words than Jana's page. Some Jana fans trying to defend her on wikipedia? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I don't understand why everyone is so mean to Jana. She's doing Australia a favour, they should be grateful and Tamsyn should try talking less and doing some more training.

-- I doubt she's doing Australia a favour. She's doing herself no favours and Australia has other athletes who have excelled themselves on the field without taking valuable space on front pages of newspapers. It's like having Marie-Jose Perec on the team! Perec didn't do the French team any favours either and Jana's doing the same. Wish Jana would learn some behavioural lessons from Cathy Freeman. Sigh.

Isn't she a little old for braces?

-- She doesn't have them anymore. I've seen some over 30s wearing braces so she's not too old.

- Is there a cite that makes use of the term `jana drama'? I've never heard that term before.Also I tidied up the marriage section, as it mentioned that she was married to Chris twice. - 12:02 midday, 3rd April 2006.

Jana Drama headlines:

"Pittman to quit Australia after one too many Jana drama ding-dongs" http://www.smh.com.au/news/athletics/pittman-to-quit-australia/2006/03/10/1141701696380.html

Pittman - the daughter of a vicar who has a large collection of stuffed wombats - claims she has been cast unfairly in the role of villain by the Australian public and media, who have nicknamed her "Jana Drama". http://sport.guardian.co.uk/commonwealthgames2006/story/0,,1730845,00.html

She was also called that when being interviewed by a Channel 7 journalist after she won the 400M. It's been around for sure.

Winter Olympics[edit]

This article could probably do with some extra material on her Winter Olympics participation. I shall try to dig something up. HiLo48 (talk) 10:08, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to but then I realised she hasn't competed yet so I guess we should wait for her to at least start. She'll be the first female and second overall Australian to do the Summer/Winter double. Tigerman2005 (talk) 11:50, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, do you know who the other person was? HiLo48 (talk) 17:29, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Narracott. Pretty much did the same thing - track athlete (sprinter) in the late 70s early 80s and then re-appeared after retirement as a bobsleigh breakman. I'll add some stuff about her winter olympics exploits now just to get things rolling. Tigerman2005 (talk) 01:11, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
