Olympics

Hi,
As I understand it, there is a woman US olympic swimmer who has had ablation and now has a pacemaker. Does anyone know her name? She apparently has done quite well.
Thanks for your help.

Ablation & PM

Thanks TraceyE,
Rebecca Soni may not have a PM. I just kinda remember hearing Rowdy Gaines (sportscaster for NBC) saying something about her having a PM.
If she does have a PM, I am very impressed the she can work that well with the PM.
Anyhow, I sent an e-mail to NBC sports (fat chance I'll ever get a response!) requesting a response.
Again, thank you.
