It could have been six but for the bad experience Egerszegi had suffered at the hands of the Chinese at the world championships in 1994 in the midst of a career in which she was surrounded by more than her fair share of rivals who were tainted by drugs scandals.
Egerszegi, one of the greatest technicians and most graceful of stylists in swimming history, had gone to the event in Rome as Empress of backstroke, with eight European titles and the world records over both 100 and 200m to her name.
So discouraged was Egerszegi from competing against the Chinese that she did not even enter the 100m at the 1996 Games in Atlanta, assuming, like so many others in the world of swimming, that the team from Beijing would put all its muscle into the sprint events.
