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.

  • Magerman Wins 400-Hurdles at Southern Region Champs
    Magerman wins 400-hurdles at Southern Region Champs South Africa’s Olympic Youth champion, Gezelle Magerman (Tuks/HPC), won the 400-hurdles at the CAA Southern Region Under-20 Championships in Lusaka. “Naturally I would have loved to have won in a faster time than 59.18s, but for now I will take it. “I see this year as a ‘bridging’ year, coming from high school, going to university. It is quite a change because suddenly you have to take responsibility for everything you do or don’t do. Luckily I managed to find a balance between training and studying. Magerman’s big goal is to win a medal at next month’s IAAF Junior World Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. “I am not an athlete who believes in setting myself ‘exotic’ goals as far time is concerned. I prefer chipping away at my time, slowly working towards running that one near perfect race. If I can run 57.90s before the end of the year I will be more than satisfied,” said Magerman whose best time last year was 58.81s. According to Magerman, the fact that she trains with the South African champion, Wenda Nel (Tuks/HPC), helps a lot. “Training with Wenda is like having a barometer that gives me a good indication of where I am as an athlete.” ***On Friday, at the Adidas Boston Games, the world champion, Wayde van Niekerk, won the 400 metres in 44.28s. Caribbean athlete Machel Cedonio from Trinidad and Tobago finished second in 44.87s and America’s David Verburg rounded off the podium in 44.98s.

  • 2013 World Championships Statistics – Men's 200M by K Ken Nakamura
    2013 World Championships Statistics – Men’s 200m by K Ken Nakamura The records to look for in Moskva: 1) Nobody won 100m/200m double at the Worlds more than once. Can Bolt do it for the second time? 2) Can Bolt win 200m for the third time to surpass Michael Johnson and Calvin Smith? 3) No country other than US ever won multiple medals in this event. Can Jamaica do it? 4) No European won medal at both 100m and 200m? Can Lemaitre change that?
