	Ian Thorpe
		When Ian was eight, he was tired of watching his older sister Christina at her swim practices and meets.
		Ian became the youngest male swimmer to win being selected to the Australian national squad when he was named to the Pan Pacific Championship Team in 1997 after he placed 3rd in the 400m freestyle at the National Open Championships in Adelaide.
		Ian was fifteen, of course he was scared by that.

	Ian Thorpe
		Born in Sydney, Australia, Thorpe has completely dominated the 400 metre freestyle since his first world championship win in 1998, winning the event at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games and the 2001 Fukoka World Championships (at which he won a total of six gold medals).
		Thorpe has also pushed Australian relay teams to unprecedented success, anchoring the winning 4x100 and 4x200 freestyle relay golds in Sydney, the first time the United States has ever been beaten in the events.
		At 195cm and 105 kilograms, he is very large for a swimmer (indeed, many thought that as he matured and continued to grow he would be unable to maintain his performance as a teenager), able to maintain a trademark six-beat kick to power away to victory in the closing stages of races.
