All Time Olympic Gold Medals - Swimming 1896-2020

Описание: See the history of Swimming at the Olympics. Swimming has been an ever present event at the Olympics and has given us some memorable sporting moments over the years.

Famous swimmers like Michael Phelps, Ian Thorpe, Katie Ledecky, Jenny Thompson and Mark Spitz have dominated various Olympic Games in the past. Some other famous names you may remember are Alexander Popov, Emma McKeon, Matt Biondi, Rebecca Adlington and Katinka Hosszu.

Phelps has an amazing 23 gold medals, including 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics!

As you would expect the United States of America is the leading Olympic nation. However, when it comes to swimming some nations have massively punched above their weight. Australia, Netherlands and Hungary have won a lot of medals despite having small populations in comparison.

Who will add to their medal haul at Paris 2024? Will Adam Peaty win yet another gold? Will the USA continue their dominance or can another nation top the medal table at the Paris Olympics?
