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.

  • USA TEAM: 2017 WORLD UNIVERSITY GAMES August 19-30, 2017, Taipei City, Taiwan
    USA TEAM: 2017 WORLD UNIVERSITY GAMES August 19-30, 2017, Taipei City, Taiwan INTRODUCTION The World University Games is the American term for “Universiade,” an international multi-sport event organized for university athletes by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). The Universiade is an international sporting and cultural festival, staged every two years in a different city around the world, representing both winter and summer competitions. It is second only in importance to the Olympic Games. THE USA TEAM (see: www.wugusa.com) The 2017 Summer Games in Taipei City, Taiwan will have U.S. representation in up to 22 sports. By contrast, the 2015 American team had 600 athletes and staff in Gwangju, South Korea. The following 22 sports competitions are open for U.S. representation in Taiwan: Athletics/Track and Field Football (Soccer) Table Tennis Archery Golf Taekwondo Badminton Gymnastics (Artistic) Tennis Baseball Gymnastics (Rhythmic) Volleyball Basketball Judo Water Polo Cue Sports (Billiards) Roller Sports Weightlifting Diving Swimming Wushu Fencing AMERICAN SUCCESS AT THE WORLD UNIVERSITY GAMES: The U.S.A. won a total of 54 medals at the 2015 Summer Games, finishing 5th in the world. Many now-famous athletes have represented the U.S.A. in previous WUG competitions prior to gaining stardom in the Olympics and professional sports. These include such elite athletes as Michael Johnson (Track), Charles Barkley and Larry Bird (Men’s Basketball), Matt Biondi and Michael Phelps (Swimming), and Lisa Leslie (Women’s Basketball). It will be exciting to see who the next future American star will be from this current pool of U.S.

  • Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S
    Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Michigan wins fi rst championship since 1995, 12th overall: — When Michigan’s Bruno Ortiz pulled himself out of the water after swimming the anchor leg in the 400- yard freestyle relay at the 2013 Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships, the singing started. “Hail to the Victors” echoed around the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI March 30, beginning with two Michigan spectator sections on one side of the building and carrying over to the Michigan bench area on the pool deck. The Wolverines did not win the 400 free relay; they fi nished second. But it didn’t matter. Michigan had wrapped up its fi rst national team title since 1995 long before that fi nal relay event. It was the 12th national title for Michigan, and meant it was no longer tied with Ohio State for the overall lead in Division I men’s titles. “This morning, we just kind of let our passion drive us. And that was it,” said Connor Jaeger, who began Michigan’s title drive on the fi nal night of the three-day meet with a victory in the 1,650-yard freestyle. He also won the 500 free in the meet’s fi rst individual race. Michigan’s victory halted a two-year title run by California, which fi nished second. “We started four years ago working on this,” said Michigan’s fi fth-year coach Mike Bottom. “You do it one day at a time; you do it one student-athlete at a time.

    NCMS Zooms to 8th place team finish at 2014 Spring Nationals By Don Gilchrist Seventeen members of NCMS shined at Spring Nationals, May 1-4, at the George F Hanes International Swim Center, Santa Clara, California. This is the pool where the Olympic legends competed and trained, and considered the epicenter of competitive swimming over the last 75 years. Enthusiasm and excitement was rampant and gave rise to great swims by NC swimmers and fellow master swimmers. More recent legends participated and provided much thrill. They included Olympians Matt Biondi, Anthony Ervin, Josh Davis and Nathan Adrian (18.78 50 free and 41.13 100 free). NCMS member and national legend E Ole Larson, age 93, proved age is no hindrance by sweeping six events. Taking gold in all and having to purchase another bag to carry home the loot.
