The World Is Still Chasing Debbie Meyer<\/h2>\n

In 1968 16-year-old Debbie Meyer<\/strong> became the first and only person to win the 200, 400, and 800 freestyle events at a single Olympic Games. Now 63, Debbie recently spoke with\u00a0Swimming World<\/em> about her story and the historic influence that propelled her to fame during the 1960s…as well as the possibility of the USA’s Katie Ledecky<\/strong> matching Meyer’s feat 48 years later in Rio.<\/p>\n

Author and publisher of\u00a0Swimming World\u00a0<\/em>Brent Rutemiller\u00a0<\/strong>provides an in-depth look at Meyer’s amazing feat, along with some historical background from the 1968 Olympics held in Mexico City and the 1960s themselves.<\/p>\n
