To celebrate this accomplishment ESPN Classic TV station is showing all of the USA Gold medal winning swimmers today including all of Mark Spitz's races. Its on right now and will be on tonight. Its on for about 3 hours.
Whats interesting is to see the suits, no goggles, and basically no underwater swimming on either the starts or the turns.
It was fun to watch the You Tube video at the Swimming World link. Thanks for posting!
I noticed that in the medely relay, there was a Hungarian swimmer named László Cseh. Is he any relation to the 2008 & 2012 Olympian?
