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.

INTRODUCTION At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, the U.S. Men's Olympic Swimming Team (the U.S. Team) was defeated for the first time ever 2 in the 4x100 Freestyle Relay' in international competition by the Australians. Many people thought this was a fluke and the United States would come back with a vengeance in 2004, but that was not the case. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, the U.S. Team could not even manage to walk away with a silver medal, let alone a gold medal, in the 4x100 Freestyle Relay, an event it had once dominated. 3 The U.S. Team lost to South Africa and the 4 Netherlands, respectively, coming home with only a bronze. As one begins to search for answers as to why the United States continues to lose its dominance on the international swimming scene, an analysis of Title IX and its unintended consequences may provide some of the necessary answers.

  • Throwback to the 8Th FINA World Championships
    http://fina-budapest2017.com/en/news/397/perth-for-the-second-time-thorpe-for-the-first-throwback-to-the-8th-fina-world-championships Perth for the second time, Thorpe for the first: throwback to the 8th FINA World Championships 2017.04.11. 11:46 CET A 15-year-old Australian boy and a 21-year-old Australian boy of Polish descent were the protagonists of the 8th FINA World Championships. Obviously there were numerous outstanding athletes, but the gold medals of Ian Thorpe and Michael Klim and the dominance of the latter one made this event remarkable. Americans were ranked first in the medal table, there was a gold medal claimed by a Costa Rican athlete, 2 bronze medals went to athletes from Puerto Rico while Hungary won a gold by Ágnes Kovács. Here is a summary of the second world championships in Perth. The best athletes of aquatics returned to the venue of previous world championships, many of them had participated in both world championships hosted by Perth as the two events were organised within a quite short period. However, there was a significant difference between the two: in 1991 there were only 60 whereas in 1998 there were 121 countries participated in the championships. It was a major growth, however, in 1994 104 nations took part in the championships in Rome. Because of the Australian location the event took place in January again, the key venue was the Challenge Stadium previously called as Perth Superdrome and referred to as HBF Stadium today. Three new events debuted in the programme: 3m and 10m synchronised diving and 5 km open water swimming.
