Hello Dippers !
Today a TOP 5 that makes the ranking of Swimmers who have been the youngest
Olympic or world champion.
Of course, besides the Olympics, I speak well heard at the senior world championships
in Grand Bassin, and not in padaugeoir! - You're bad, say!
- Indeed, we reverse the roles for a time.
You the day you cross the foot bath without wallowing, you'll call me!
- Me! - So it's gone for this TOP 5 Champions
the youngest ones in Swimming!
Swimming is a discipline where we see most of his champions barely major,
if not say that they are even at puberty age.
Which also explains the swimmers' preoccupation and retired swimmers who generally break up
their sports career in their thirties contrary to many other sports, fault
to be able to find the huge motivation needed to stay at the highest level.
The youngest pensioners in Swimming, we will talk about it in a next TOP 5.
Let's focus on the youngest champions and Champions in Swimming!
In 5th position:
Once is not customary, it is not this once we find the King of Swimming
Michael Phelps in first position or even on the podium ! Michael is 15 years old
and 8 months exactly when it becomes for the first time World Champion in
Fukuoka World Cup in Japan in 2001 on the 200m Butterfly.
In addition to that, he beats both the record of the world of the event but also the record
age of the youngest swimmer breaking a record of the world hitherto owned by Ian Thorpe
on the 400m NL then aged only 16 years and 10 months.
Hat low Mister Phelps!
- Hey coach! - Pleasure ?
- I've found a pediluve You're going see how I'm going to cross you! Red carpet !
- Well, for the next two early champions, I tied them, because it was played
within a few days at the age level, so be attentive;)
In 4th position:
Rūta Meilutytė and Katie Ledecky! From her real name Kathleen Genevieve Ledecky,
born March 17, 1997 is already the youngest American participant when she arrived
at the London Olympics in 2012.
It's during these same games that she won at exactly 15 years, 4 months and 17
days the NL 800m its first ever Olympic title by achieving the second best time of
History on this distance after the record of the British Rebecca Adlington realized
Beijing Olympics 4 years ago.
She still beats the record of a swimmer American on this test, that of Janet
Evans she owned since 1989.
Katie Ledecky shares her place in this TOP 5 with another swimmer who only beats her
of 6 very small days ... What is here!
The Lithuanian swimmer Rūta Meilutytė is born on March 19, 1997.
At the age of 15, she has already beaten nothing less than 11 Lithuania records ... Good,
you will tell me that it is not very difficult in this small country on the edge of the Baltic mother,
but wait to see what will happen next: Olympics in London in 2012, Rūta becomes champion
Olympic Breaststroke at only 15 years old, 4 months and 11 days! She beats the same
opportunity the world record of the event in 1min 05sec and 47 hundredths! What to engrave
his name in the amber of the History of Swimming!
- In amber? What is that ?
- Yes, amber, Lithuania, connoisseurs will understand!
- Hey coach! I think I found what to do a very early champion.
- Where did you find this toddler?!? - Uh ...
- Come here !
In 3rd position:
Australian swimmer Sandra Morgan, now better known by her marital name Sandra Anne
Beavis is one of the 4 relay runners of the team Australian 4x100m NL who won the
gold medal at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956 by beating the record of the
world of this relay.
Sandra was only 14 years and 6 months old.
You will tell me that it can not count because it's not an individual title? I
wanted to put it forward, because first she remains to this day the youngest
Australian swimmer Olympic champion ... Australia, a great nation of Swimming.
But also because she had failed everything just do not participate in this relay
given his inexperience at the high level and his past dotted with false starts.
A beautiful revenge in short!
In 2nd position:
A swimmer you probably already know perfectly, since I have already consecrated
an episode to his sports career off common.
I named Hungary's Krisztina Egerszegi! Indeed, at just 14 years old, a month and
9 days, she becomes at the Seoul Olympics in 1988 the youngest swimmer Olympic champion
of History on the back 200m.
But this record did not last very long, as he will be defeated at the following Olympiads
by the young swimmer who will follow ...
In 1st position:
And the winner of this TOP 5 is: Kyoko Iwasaki! This swimmer was 14 years and 6 days old
when she becomes at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 Olympic Champion of the 200m breaststroke.
Early talent, or even too much.
Because this gold will remain his only title and even his only podium on the international stage.
Kyoko will participate 4 years later at the Atlanta Olympics, but did not reach any finals whatsoever
100m or 200m breaststroke.
But what an honor to have been titrated as young! Others can not say as much ...
This TOP 5 is over, but I wanted to leave a little special mention to those who have
beat a world record or other in Swimming being very young ...
As South African Karen Muir became on August 10, 1965 the youngest person of
history holding a world record at only 13 years of age, improving that of
110 yards back in 1'8''07 held until then by Briton Linda Ludgrove.
Karen will also beat fifteen records of the World but will never participate in the Games
Olympic Games, given that his country was excluded because of apartheid.
She stops her career at only 18 years old, not without being the first South swimmer
African to be introduced to the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
His death will also be precarious for a sportswoman, at age 61, following breast cancer.
More recently, a talented young swimmer by the name of Clark Kent ...
- Clark Kent? Do you mean Superman? This is indeed a namesake who wants
to tell everything: only 10 years old, this American broke the record of its category that held
until then a certain Michael Phelps.
He gives us an appointment in Paris in 2024 ... We will receive it!
And finally, how not to finish this TOP 5 early swimmers without mentioning the swimmer
from Bahrain Alzain Tareq who is 10 years old is the Youngest participant in a Championship
of the World, these were the Worlds of Kazan in 2015 on the 50m Butterfly.
Certainly, she made the last time of the series, but plans to participate in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
We wish him good luck and good luck!
Do not hesitate to leave your comments at the bottom of this video, if I have forgotten others
young international swimming champions, do not hesitate to tell me too.
As usual, shares on networks and a donation on Tipeee to make the chain live.
As for me, I will go and denounce the bather.
The police just issued an abduction alert, it can only be him!
