Trivia from the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games
Oldest swimming world record finally broken
The female 800 m swimming record, set by Janet Evans (USA) has remained unbroken for 20 years. In Beijing, the record was finally broken by Rebecca Adlington (GB). The original record was set in 1989 when Rebecca was only 6 months old. She improved the record by over two seconds to a new time of 8:14.10. Rebecca also won gold in the 400 m event and became the first Brit to win a gold medal in swimming since 1960.
Oldest and youngest participant of the Games
In Beijing the greatest age difference was 50 years. Japanese equestrian competitor Hiroshi Hoketsu competed in his third Olympics at age 67 while the youngest participant, swimmer Antoinette Joyce Gueda Mouafo from Cameroon, competed at 12 years of age.
In his ninth Olympic Games appearance, Canadian Ian Millar won his first medal in group show jumping at age 61. 33 year old Oxana Chusovitina of Germany won a silver medal in gymnastics. A silver medal was also won by swimmer Dara Torres (USA) at age 41.
Unforgettable champions
Many participants wrote Olympic history, but Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt made the most headlines. Michael Phelps won eight gold medals, overtaking Mark Spitz shined at the Munich Olympics of 1972. The incredible Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt achieved a world record at the 100 m and 200 m distances and won another gold in the 4×100 m relay.
