Through its \u201cTakeoff to Tokyo\u201d series, the magazine will examine some of the most significant moments in Olympic lore.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the 2020 Olympic Games open next July, there will be no round-number anniversary of what Australian Dawn Fraser accomplished 56 years earlier in 1964. Rather, it is the site of the Olympiad that resonates. As Tokyo prepares to host the world\u2019s finest athletes, it also serves as the place where Fraser became the first swimmer ever to win Olympic gold in the same event at three consecutive Games\u2014a feat that, even now, is wildly difficult to comprehend.<\/p>\n<p>Find an expert on the sport and ask that individual to identify the greatest male and female swimmers in history. The answer for the guys is usually instantaneous: Michael Phelps. Truthfully, any other answer reveals foolishness. Obtaining a majority among the gals is much more difficult. Tracy Caulkins and Janet Evans are in the conversation. Arguments are made for Kristina Egerszegi. Despite her active status, Katie Ledecky has already achieved such greatness that votes are cast on her behalf.<\/p>\n<p>The other contender for female GOAT status (Greatest of All Time) requires a trip back in time of more than a half-century. It also requires a trip Down Under. Back then, and there, is where Dawn Fraser is found. Hailing from a nation with a rich aquatic history, Fraser spent the middle part of the 1900s establishing herself as a freestyle legend.<\/p>\n<p>Just how challenging is an Olympic trifecta? Consider this fact: The club of three-peaters still only features a trio of members: Fraser, Egerszegi and Phelps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To read more about Dawn Fraser at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>check out the October issue of Swimming World, out now!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2019\/swimming-world-magazine-october-2019-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"395823\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-presents-japans-daiya-seto-on-the-cover-of-october-2019-issue\/swimming-world-october-2019-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover-.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World October 2019 Cover Daiya Seto\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Swimming World October 2019 Cover  Daiya Seto&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;October 2019 &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--766x1024.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-395823 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover-.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming World October 2019 Cover Daiya Seto\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover-.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--150x201.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--374x500.jpg 374w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Swimming-World-October-2019-Cover--533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Get <em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em> and <em>Swimming World Biweekly<\/em> FREE When You<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1522345712821000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGfwbLD2OaI21g28efcR0DZZlQSOQ\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Become A Member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want More?
