World Record Flashback: When David Wilkie Wowed the World in 200 Breaststroke at 1976 Olympics

Call him the forgotten man. Overlooked. Underappreciated. Lost amid an iconic week by the globe’s premier power. Truthfully, it’s an unfortunate circumstance, although not difficult to understand. With the United States overpowering the men’s competition at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, David Wilkie became an afterthought who deserved much more recognition.

To gain a full perspective of why Wilkie hasn’t received his proper due through the years, we must first examine what the United States pulled off in Montreal. Not only did the Americans win all but one event, they registered nine gold-silver showings and swept the podium in four events. Because we are in an age of greater representation, we’ll never see anything close.

Bob Bowman On Butterfly Development and Age-Group Progression in ASCA Lessons From Legends

Through its YouTube page, the American Swimming Coaches Association has made it a goal to provide its members and coaches around the country with opportunities to grow. In a video posted to the ASCA page, future Hall of Fame coach Bob Bowman, the man behind Michael Phelps’ 28 Olympic medals, takes time to discuss butterfly conditioning and age-group progression. The tips provided by Bowman are part of ASCA’s Lessons from Legends series, which is a regular feature that allows some of the biggest names in coaching to connect with their brethren in the sport.

Mallory Comerford Embracing Resurgence after ‘Dark Place’ Heading into World Championships

Mallory Comerford left the Olympic Trials stunned, but a year later, at the International Team Trials, she left in tears … happy tears.

After the most difficult year of her career, including a disappointing finish at the Olympic Trials, Comerford proved her resurgence in Greensboro, making Team USA for the World Championships — something that seemed impossible a year ago.

“It was the happiest I have been after a race for a long time,” Mallory Comerford told Swimming World. “I walked out crying after they told me I was going to Budapest. It was amazing.”
