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.)
How about Pyrros Dimas:
Three golds, three different olympics, three weight classes.

Also Bill Johnson olympic gold in the downhill. First American to do it. His gold medal run was a controlled crash. Unfortunately he suffered a bad crash in a comeback attempt.
I am a new swimmer, so I don't have any olympic swimming memories. Please post more swimming stuff!!! I am definately looking forward to Beijing.
