Jenny Thompson, you're our hero. We love stories about robbers trying to break in to a home, not knowing it's occupied by a WWII veteran who's an expert with throwing stars. So naturally we love this story, about some punks who tried to steal a lady's Vespa, not realizing it belonged to Jenny Thompson, a 12-time Olympic swimming medalist. After being punched in the face, Jenny kicked into fight mode and warded off the two men with her screaming, which attracted neighbors and police. The men ran off, but police later busted three teenagers driving stolen scooters who may or may not have been involved. (USA Today)Jul 1st 2010 By Emerald Catron

"Jenny kicked into fight mode and warded off the two men with her screaming, which attracted neighbors and police."
Fight mode = Screaming ?
And then the attackers proceeded to harm three young teenagers?
Title should be "Olympic Medalist Screams at Attackers, they Flee"
Not as interesting, but more accurate.

Oh edit on the comment before, the attacker was not found but three teenagers riding stolen scooters were found later, may or may not be related to the incident. Anyway, comment on inaccuracy of title still applies.
