Was it Dimitri Volkov, who won the Olympic 100 *** in Seoul, perhaps the best start and underwater stroke in history.
Hi George:
Not to be nit pickey but Dimitri Volkov got the bronze. Adrian Moorhouse of England won the 100 *** in Seoul and Karoly Guttler from Hungary won the silver. I happen to remember this because England had ony two Men's Olympic Champions since Henry Taylor won the 1500 Free in 1908 and that would be Moorhouse and David Wilkie in the 200 ***, in 1976 and the only Olympic Gold medal winner in men's swimming events who was not from the USA.
