LIAM TANCOCK - BRITISH SWIMMER

In July 2007 at the ASA National Championships, Liam Tancock grabbed everyone’s attention when he became the first British swimmer to dip below two minutes for the 200m individual medley. His time of 1min 59.91sec beat the previous best by almost two seconds.

One month later, he trimmed that British best time to 1min 59.19sec when winning gold in the 200m individual medley at the Japan International Open. In April 2008, he became the fastest man in the world ever in the 50m backstroke, a title he recently reclaimed at the World Championships, taking gold in Rome in August, so it is no wonder Tancock is regarded as one of Britain’s finest prospects for medal success at the London Olympics.

Tancock first came to national attention as a 15-year-old Exeter club swimmer. At the British Winter Championships he broke four junior records and came away with the biggest medal haul a junior had ever held at under-16 level. In 2001, he won swimming gold at the Youth Olympic Games, and won a further two golds in 2002 at the World Schools Championships. Read more
