The recent post on David Hasselhoff got me thinking about one hit wonders in Swimming. Tracy Wickam for 1978's world records in 400 & 800 Free ......4:06 & 8:24 I think....and didn't it take Janet Evans to break these records ?????? Someone may remember this.... Any other one hit wonders ??? (or brief stays at the top?)

    I hardly think of Tracy Wickham as a one hit wonder or a term that regulars on this forum are used to a "flash in the pan". Hey Skip Tracy was my pick ...who's yours ? I agree with with you 100% . My language was a bit breif and off.It was midnight when I wrote it. Let me re-phrase it. Can anyone remember extremely talented supersatars who's careers were short lived for one reason or another....Obviously Tracy was a victim of the Moscow Olympic's politics and I agree with what all Skip's says and more. People often ask who are Australia's greatest swimmers and when it comes to females I've always mentioned her up there with Dawn Fraser and Shane Gould. As I said it took Janet Evans to break her records and she swam against East Germans.What's more she is a lovely person with time for people.She retired at 18 or 19 I think...
