Olympic swimmer Brendan Hansen does better in pools than planes. He lost his gold medal from the 400-meter medley relay at the Beijing Games during a flight from Philadelphia to Texas, but got it back a day later. “For about 18 hours, I was sweating bricks,” the American breaststroke specialist said Tuesday. “What a roller coaster of emotions the last few days have been.” A woman found the medal on the floor in the back of the plane and contacted police. Hansen met the woman Monday afternoon and gave her a check, which he said she vowed to donate to charity. The Associated Press
