Born:2 June 1904 Deceased:20 January 1984 Birthplace:Freidorf (Hungary) Nationality:United States Sport:Aquatics ATTENDANCE AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES Paris 1924 Amsterdam 1928 AWARDS Olympic medals: Gold: 5 Bronze: 1 Other results: USA National Championships Gold: 18 (1921 - 1923,1925 -1928) "Olympic Tarzan" Johnny Weissmuller was the winner of the 100m freestyle in 1924 and 1928 and a member of the winning 4x200m relay team in both years. He also won a bronze medal in the 1924 water polo competition at the Olympics. Weissmuller set 28 world records and such was his margin of superiority over his contemporaries that many authorities still rate him ahead of Mark Spitz as the greatest swimmer of all time. Because of the limited number of events available to Weissmuller, his Olympic record cannot be fairly compared with that of Spitz but the longevity of his records is a testament to his greatness. His 1927 world record for the 100 yard freestyle was unbeaten for 17 years, a remarkable length of time during a period of rapid development in the sport. Much of his success was due to his revolutionary high-riding stroke, flutter kick and head-turning breathing. Invited for a screen test for the role of Tarzan, Weissmuller was chosen over 150 other applicants and went on to become the most famous screen Tarzan of all, playing the role in 12 movies between 1932 and 1948. | 生日：1904年6月2日 逝世：1984年1月20日 出生地：匈牙利 国籍:美国 项目:游泳 参加奥运会时间： 1924年法国巴黎夏季奥运会 1928年荷兰阿姆斯特丹夏季奥运会 奥运成绩: 金牌 5枚 铜牌 1枚 其他成绩: 美国全国锦标赛 金牌18 枚 1921年 1922年1923年1925年1926年1927年1928年 美国游泳运动员约翰尼•韦斯默勒在1924年法国巴黎夏季奥运会和1928年荷兰阿姆斯特丹夏季奥运会100米自由泳比赛中夺得金牌，他还在这 两届奥运会的4x200米接力上夺金，同时还参加了1924奥运会水球比赛，并夺得铜牌。他是历史上最伟大的游泳运动员之一，在他的运动员生涯中，韦斯默 勒一共创造了28项世界纪录，其中他在1927年创造的世界纪录保持了17年后才被人打破。退役后，韦斯默勒在好莱坞成为电影演员，他曾在12部影片中出 演了“人猿泰山”。 |
