Peirsol, from Irvine, Calif., swept both the 100m and 200m backstrokes. Coughlin, from Concord, Calif., won the 100 backstroke. Beard, from Tucson, Arizona, captured gold in the 200m breaststroke.<\/p>\n
Also, of the 22 individual event medals won by Americans at the 2004 Olympic Games, 19 were won by athletes who will swim at the World Championships. <\/p>\n
In total, of 23 U.S. swimmers who are expected to compete in the World Championships, 20 won Olympic medals, including those who competed on relay teams in either finals or preliminaries.
