[视频] Jim Montgomery 1976年蒙特利尔奥运会 100m自冠军

猪八戒

A true champion, in the 1976 Montreal Olympics Jim was the first man ever to break 50 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle. Breaking this barrier was equivalent to Roger Bannister’s four minute mile in track.

Jim won two more golds and a bronze in the 1976 Olympics, but his record as king of the World Championships is still more phenomenal. He won a record Five golds in the first World Championships at Belgrade in 1973 and repeated with four golds, a silver and bronze in Cali 1975 and Berlin 1978.

After his retirement from college and USA swimming Jim went on to win 14 Masters World Championships from 1986 to 2002. Jim began competing in ocean races in the 1980s and in 1986 won the 2.4 mile Waikiki Roughwater Ocean swim.
