By freestyle I mean front crawl. At the pool I see many people swim only freestyle. Some regulars swim it continuously for more than an hour, nothing else, day after day. Unless they are preparing for some coming race, I wonder why they don't get bored? It's also easy to get injury if you swim only one style for long term. Does anyone here belong to this category? If so, I'm interested to know what's your mindset. :D
OK, in the history of Olympic athletics competition how many people have one gold medals in more than one of the following: running, hurdles, steeplechase, racewalking?
not sure of the source, but didn't Gail Devers win a silver in the 100 hurdles at the world games in 92 and later that summer win gold in the 100 dash.
Only to follow it up with the WR in the 100 hurdles later in 93 as well as the 100 dash.
as far as swimming different strokes there are swimmers with WR in multiple strokes.
