Summer Games 2016 - Swimming

Summer Games 2016 - Swimming
In the summer, nothing seems better than entering a cool swimming pool and have some fun. However, for some people, a swimming pool does not note a simple "fun", but "competition" - some other kind of fun. Think about names like Johnny Weissmuller, Mark Spitz, Michael Phelps, Ranomi Kromowidjojo, Dawn Fraser, Natalie Coughlin - what do they have in common? That's right. Olympic swimmers and champions. Winners of many gold medals in the Summer Olympics, holders of world records, all of these men and women see the pool as their life project.

However, let us start from the beginning. Swimming has always been a part of the modern Olympic Games, and for female olympic swimmers, the competition has been open since 1912. It is one of the most popular sports in the summer Olympics, and has the largest number of events after Olympics athletics. From fifty meters to a marathon (!), from butterfly to freestyle - swimming has it all. So many tracks are a great opportunity for olympic swimming medals, and indeed - in all the years of the Olympics Summer Games, a total of 1562 had been given, 520 of them to the USA team. The American are, apparently, the best swimmers on the planet, the holders of many of the world records, and always on top regarding new technologies that help olympics swimmers get better. Far away after the USA, with 178 medals, is Australia. Last in line are Switzerland, Venezuela, and Trinidad & Tobago, each with one bronze medal.

In Rio Olympic Games, the swimming competitions will take place from 6-13 of August in the Olympic Aquatics Stadium in Barra da Tijuca, a venue that cost more than 38 million dollars to build. The Open-Water Marathon will occur in 15-16 of August in Fort Copacabana, a military base at the south end of the beach. 34 events in one of the most exciting and popular sports of the Summer Olympics - buy Olympic Games tickets with Doctorticket and get ready to get wet!
