	Pittman plans to nail it - Athletics -
		Pittman is spending nine hours a day working on her rehabilitation in a desperate bid to be ready to run at the Olympics on August 21.
		But Pittman believes her odds have improved dramatically given the lack of swelling and the fact she can walk unaided, except for a pair of compression socks which help reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis while her leg is static.
		Pittman said if things began to go wrong in her recovery she would wait until the last possible minute before she considered ruling herself out of the Olympics but as it stood she expected to have a good idea if she would compete by Saturday.

	Jana Rawlinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jana Rawlinson (born November 9, 1982 in Sydney as Jana Pittman) is an Australian athlete who specialises in the 200 m and 400 m hurdles events.
		Her teammate Lewis's criticism of the media publicity surrounding Jana and her knee (which received front page coverage in the tabloids) was the precursor for the current enmity between the two.
		At as Manchester, Jana was a member of Australia's 4x400m relay team (with Lewis, Caitlin Willis and Rosemary Hayward), which was awarded the gold medal after the disqualification of the England team for a baton-change violation 5.

	Jana Pittman:
		JANA PITTMAN: I decided to try to be the best in Australia at about age 17-18, but it's probably since Commonwealth Games last year that I've decided to take on the world, as you would say, and aim at an Olympic medal rather than just making the team.
		Jana's 6ft tall and has a massive 2.3m stride, equal to most male athletes, which her coach says means she's born to be out in front.
		JANA PITTMAN: You've got to feel bulletproof on the day, and if you didn't win the Olympics, you got the silver medal but run a PB, tried your best, and there was no stone unturned on the way there, then you couldn't be disappointed with the performance.

	Cool Running :: Pittman to face Lewis at Commonwealth Games selection trials
		Lewis said last night she was primed for the trials and was expecting a clash against her arch-rival in the 400m final on Friday night.
		Jana quickly responded declaring she'd prefer to be known and remembered for her performances on the track rather than as a "bikini babe".
		She was referring to a photo shoot Lewis had done for a men's magazine prior to Athens and the eight-time national champion has revealed there's more to come in coming weeks.

	Games give Pittman chance to shine
		Pittman has two Commonwealth gold medals to her name, from Manchester in 2002, became the youngest ever world 400m hurdles champion in 2003 and made the final of the same event at the Athens Olympics in 2004.
		Pittman has had to endure two major injury setbacks in the past two years, with a knee injury destroying her bid for Olympic gold in 2004, although she still managed to come fifth, then a back injury preventing her from competing in last year's world championships.
		Pittman said while she favoured running the double, she would need to be in quick form, and the other option was to concentrate on running a very quick time in the hurdles.

		Jana Pittman has put aside her tumultuous build-up to the Commonwealth Games to successfully defend her 400 metres hurdles crown in front of her home crowd on Thursday night and then said she hoped the win rebuild her public image.

		Pittman told Channel Nine immediately after the win that she was 'misunderstood' in the public domain and hoped the win would be the start of a new and different public image for her.

		Pittman blew this out of the water, claiming that she started the whole rivalry with that comment plus other comments to her personally before this.

		Television footage showed Pittman and Lewis approaching race officials, apparently to alert them that an English athlete was positioned in an incorrect lane when handed the baton.
