Kyoko Iwasaki youngest Olympian Swimmer to win Gold Medal

Hello,

Kyoko Iwasaki (岩崎恭子) won the Olympic Gold medal 200m Breaststroke in 1992 Barcelona at the age of 14 years 6 days. OMG, that is a crazy feat. She looked so small and young compare to other competitors and the amazing thing is she only caught up at the final 50 meters to cling on to the gold !

The winning video


I think after that she got popular in Japan and has appeared in some videos and photoshoot. She is really cute.

Olympic male swimmers pull a Britney Madonna

Hello ,

200m Olympic champ was kissed by swimmer next to him almost mouth to mouth after the race. WTF? The champion Evgueni Sadovyi just missed the world record by 0.01 seconds. Maybe that is how Pychnenko console his teammate , by giving him some love and affection :)

Pause at 6:28 to see the action

How did Paul Biedermann Improve 4 seconds in about a year time ?!

Hello ,

It is not a question where I can answer , its more like an exclamation ! If you know , Paul Biedermann recently crushed Michael Phelps in the 200m LC freestlye at the Rome World Championship, clocking 1:42:00 , breaking Phelps record set in Beijing . Phelps record was 1:42:96 .

Out of interest ,
I went to search for the 200m Beijing Clip and found Paul to be in the final as well, clocking 1:46:00 , so Paul Biedermann improves 4 seconds in just about a year ?! wtf ? Anyway, in Beijing , Paul did not wear the full suit , in Rome World Champ this year, He wore a full suit , hmmmmmmmmmm ....

Beijing 200m Olympics.

If you are interested to see how far has Paul improved , pause the video at 4:22 and you will see over the year , he has improved about 3 and a half body length for 200meters , (Paul is in lane 2 )
