In 1968 16-year-old Debbie Meyer became the first and only person to win the 200, 400, and 800 freestyle events at a single Olympic Games. Now 63, Debbie recently spoke with Swimming World about her story and the historic influence that propelled her to fame during the 1960s…as well as the possibility of the USA’s Katie Ledecky matching Meyer’s feat 48 years later in Rio.
Author and publisher of Swimming World Brent Rutemiller provides an in-depth look at Meyer’s amazing feat, along with some historical background from the 1968 Olympics held in Mexico City and the 1960s themselves.
