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.
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)
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.
the australian record would be the fastest time ever run by an australian (it's the same concept with other countries, i.e. American record, British record, etc.) the olympic record is the fastest time ever run in the olympics, and the commonwealth record is the fastest time ever run in the commonwealth games. and of course, the world record is the fastest time ever run. the olympic record can only be set in the olympics, and the commonwealth record can only be set in the commonwealth games. the australian and world record can be set anywhere at any time.
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].
