You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

Volume 12, Issue 1 May 2015 Mapping networks of influence: Tracking Twitter conversations through time and space Alistair Willis, Open University, UK Ali Fisher, Independent Researcher Ilia Lvov, University of St. Andrews, Scotland Abstract: The increasing use of social media around global news events, such as the London Olympics in 2012, raises questions for international broadcasters about how to engage with users via social media in order to best achieve their individual missions. Twitter is a highly diverse social network whose conversations are multi-directional involving individual users, political and cultural actors, athletes and a range of media professionals. In so doing, users form networks of influence via their interactions affecting the ways that information is shared about specific global events. This article attempts to understand how networks of influence are formed among Twitter users, and the relative influence of global news media organisations and information providers in the Twittersphere during such global news events.

Bill Sweetenham's Way Reaps Rewards for GB Team in Beijing - Olympic
Bill Sweetenham's way reaps rewards for GB team in Beijing - Olympic... 19/08/2008 11:46 PM Telegraph accessibility links Skip to article Skip to Telegraph main navigation Website of the Telegraph Media Group with breaking news, sport, business, latest UK a Bill Sweetenham's way reaps rewards for GB team in Beijing Halting the terminal decline of British swimming has been like turning the QE2. Progress has been possible only after the entire shambles was brought to a halt and then restarted and pointed in the right direction. By Brendan Gallagher Last Updated: 1:35AM BST 12 Aug 2008 Australian coaching legend Bill Sweetenham was appointed after the Sydney Olympics when Great Britain failed to win a single medal, and cracked the whip with typical Australian vigour. He stood down last November, but his work and approach are beginning to bear fruit. Sweetenham instilled a professionalism which, with the exception of a small number of self-motivated individuals, was largely alien to the British system. From now on swimming was to be a 'career’ choice, not an excuse to avoid Fruit bearer: GB swimming was in rapid decline before Bill Sweetenham tightened the ship Photo: getting a job. Frank Coppi He instigated a cadre of expert coaches and a year-round training camp in Queensland, with emphasis on the future. He also stamped out the 'party’ culture. Predictably it did not make him very popular with some, but he persisted and slowly the results have improved. The Athens Olympics were disappointing but since then the new generation have emerged, the green shoots of recovery being visible at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
