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.
