Ed Moses

Three years after Moses gave up his future in golf, he was found in the history books, but not for golf, for swimming. His performances in the Olympics put him in the history books. He became the first man in history to break one minute, in a relay, in the 100 yard breaststroke. He helped the U.S. to a gold medal and the World Record in the 400 Medal Relay. Moses, who is 20 years old, brought home a silver medal in the 100 breaststoke, down in Sydney. 

Moses made his international debut when he swam in the Pan America Games, in 1999. He was very unknown at the time and when he took gold in the event, his time was considered to be the second fastest that any American swimmer has swum.  He went on to break short course records in the 50 meter, 100 meter, and 200 meter breaststroke, at the 2000 NCAA Championships. Moses broke the record in the 200 meter breaststroke to earn his trip to Sydney. He added world records in the 50 meter and 100 meter breaststroke.
