In 1960, sportswriters had dubbed Jeff Farrell “the fastest swimmer in the world.” However, less than a week before the U.S. Olympic Trials, he underwent an emergency appendectomy. Doctors gave him six weeks to recover, yet only six days after surgery, he was back on the blocks at the 1960 U.S. Olympic Trials.
In one of the most courageous performances of our sport, Farrell qualified for the U.S. Olympic team in Rome, where he would go on to win two gold medals as the anchor of the world record-setting 400 medley and 800 freestyle relays.
