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?)

  • Anyone want to speculate on why these young girls can become world class breaststrokers at such a young age? There must be some physiological reason. I suspect it has something to do with the anatomy of the pelvis and this changes with puberty in such a manner that their kick isn't quite as propulsive as it was.
