The records and statistics\u00a0swimmers, coaches, journalists, sports scientists, and administrators have valued and been motivated by for the last four decades are largely thanks to Thierry. The swim coach began keeping records of times and comparing them because he saw it as &#8220;a very effective training tool&#8221; for his swimmers. Thierry was known for his no-nonsense approach and knew how to extract the important numbers from a cluttered page. He worked tirelessly to produce lists like Thorpe&#8217;s 30 best times in the 200m free in comparison to Phelps&#8217; 30 best swims, the national record progressions of\u00a0<em>every\u00a0<\/em>nation in the world, and the finals, semis and heat results of every major competition since the 1972 Munich Games. His talent was finding order in chaos and his quest was to guard these numbers and share accurate, interesting facts with the swimming world. FINA leaned heavily on Thierry for their world rankings.\u00a0Thierry always preferred quality over quantity and would not have liked a drawn-out thank you for his services. But for his endless work and care for passing on his gifts to young writers, Thierry deserves endless thanks.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the old saying: &#8216;Decisions will be made, unencumbered by thought.&#8217; I worry about the tendency of humans to make things ever more complicated rather than simpler.&#8221;\u2013 Nick Thierry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>*USA Swimming and Speedo\u00a0invited the swimming community to help celebrate their 30 years of partnership by voting for the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/usa-swimming-speedo-usa-announce-30-most-influential-people-in-swimming-over-the-past-30-years\/\">30 Most Influential People in Swimming Over\u00a0the Past 30 Years.<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0Votes were\u00a0cast through social media with the hashtag #30MostSwimfluential and the final vote came from a panel of 10 judges selected by USA Swimming and Speedo.
