A 1971 inductee into the International Swimming Hall of Fame, Yorzyk was born on May 29, 1933, but he did not travel the typical path of an internationally acclaimed swimmer, as he was a late entry to the sport.<\/p>\n<p>According to his ISHOF biography, Yorzyk was a beginner when he enrolled at Springfield College as a 16-year-old. However, that delayed introduction to the competitive scene hardly deterred Yorzyk on his march to the Hall of Fame. Under the guidance of coach\u00a0<strong>Charles \u201cRed\u201d Silvia<\/strong>, Yorzyk showed great potential and developed on a yearly basis. By his junior year of college, he was an All-American, and bigger accomplishments were to come.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_445628\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-445628\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<\/div>\n<p>With the breaststroke and butterfly split for the first time at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Yorzyk etched his name in history by capturing the 200 butterfly Down Under. Yorzyk covered his four laps in a world-record time of 2:19.3, which supplied a convincing triumph over Japan\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Takashi Ishimoto<\/strong>\u00a0(2:23.8) and Hungary\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Gyorgy Tumpek<\/strong>\u00a0(2:23.9). He was the only male gold medalist for the United States.<\/p>\n<p>By capturing gold in the 200 butterfly, Yorzyk jumpstarted a spectacular tradition in the event for the United States.
