Libby Lenton, the most accomplished yet most under rated swimmer in the world


It completely went over my head that Lenton won five gold medals at the FINA World Championships. All I could focus on was Michael Phelps' seven gold medals and several world records. The above You Tube is Lenton winning her 5th gold at FINA World Championships in the 50 meter free beating Natalie Coughlin and Therese Alshammar.

Here are some articles discussing her recent accomplishments and her Telstra Swimmer of the Year award; (an Australian version of the "Golden Goggle.)
