What is your favorite memory.The most amazing race I ever saw was the 200 Breaststroke in the 1968 Olympics. The only gold medal won by a Mexican at the Games Was by Felipe Munoz. Every time he breathed the crowd screamed MEXICO, I have never experienced such passion for a swimming event,(I only saw it on T.V. I can't imagine what it was like in person.)
NB I don't think Linford did them...Daley Thompson possibly...just look at the trapezius muslces and compare 84 to 88.
I've heard Linford did, but that is speculation, not proof, so not worth much. I'd take Daley's trap muscles. I'm pretty much willing to substitute anatomies with lots of folks who didn't swim 200 flys in their youth. Don't you have an Olympic breaststroke moment you love? What about when John Moffet, the world record holder at the time, torn a muscle in prelims, couldn't swim in the finals and still cheered on his teammate Steve Lundquist? You said you like underdogs...
