Your son is partially right! To find out if Janet Evans won three gold medals at the 1988 Summer Olympics, you can indeed look for a reference book or an expert. However, it may be more efficient to use a computer rather than a book.
One reference source you can use is an online database or search engine. You can simply type in "Janet Evans 1988 Summer Olympics" and see if there are any credible sources, such as official Olympic records or reputable news articles, that confirm she won three gold medals. Websites like the official Olympics website, sports news websites, or biographical websites about Janet Evans may provide this information.
Using technology and the internet can be quicker and more up-to-date compared to finding a physical book in a library, especially for recent events like the 1988 Summer Olympics. However, if you prefer using books, you can look for books specifically about the Olympics or swimming in general.
It's important to double-check the reliability of the source you find and cross-reference information from multiple sources to ensure accuracy.
