Ian Thorpe
The best successful Olympic swimmer is Federica pellegrini, an Italian.
Michael phelps
the best swimmer is enthob and he raced in the 2000 Olympic games 1) Michael Phelps, USA (14 total Olympic gold medals, including eight at the 2008 Olympics). 2) Mark Spitz, USA (9 total Olympic gold medals, including seven at the 1972 Olympics) 3) Jenny Thompson, USA (8 total Olympic gold medals) 4) Matt Biondi, USA (8 total Olympic gold medals)
That's not a fair comparison, Hansen is one of the best breaststrokers EVER and Crocker one of the best flyers. Now based on achievement on the OLYMPIC stage, Crocker would win.
I do believe Micheal Phelps is the best swimmer at swimming event's in the world.
Equatorial Guinea is a sovereign state in Middle Africa with an insular region and mainland. It is one of the smallest countries within Africa and it is known best for its Olympic swimmers. Robert Dimarco is a famous Olympic swimmer.
It depends on whether you are thinking of the best swimmer as the fastest swimmer or the best all-around swimmer. -The fastest 50m freestyle time is currently 23.97 by Libby Trickett. (October, 2008) -The best IM women swimmer is Stephanie Rice with a 2:08.45 in the 200m IM and a 4:29.43(?) in the 400m IM. (October, 2008)
The Australian record is the best performance by an Australian athlete in a specific event, the Olympic record is the best performance at the Olympic Games, the Commonwealth record is the best performance by an athlete from a Commonwealth country, and the world record is the best performance globally. These records can be set during official competitions where approved officials are present to verify the result.
Micheal Phelps is the worlds best swimmer. He won 8 olympic golds in Athens, and also this year, 2008, in Bejing. No one has ever won this many medals before, in history. Many agree that he is the worlds best swimmer! before phelps, grant hackett was the best. Yet if you think about it Mark Spitz was the best swimmer of all time. That's because he swam the Olymics with no goggles unlike anyone post 1976.
i believe hes a top American swimmer
1. He got 8 gold medals in one Olympic games for swimming. 2. He spends most of his time practising. 3 Final. He is the best swimmer in the Olympics.
I'd say ripjaws[ because he's the only swimmer].
