FINALLY FOUND! - "Sippy" Woodhead swimming in the 200-meter free at the 1984 Olympic Games!



The "Holy Grail" of the SCAQ blog is a photo of Gwen Stefani swimming fly in high school - so far not produced. The "Ark of the Covenant" of the SCAQ blog is a film of Cynthia "Sippy" Woodhead swimming in the 200-free at the 1984 Olympic games - FOUND!

Love her loping stroke and turns.

Thank you Mark for hooking me up with this video.

P.S. Note the suit attire. Not much has changed from 1984-2010 save for that women get better suits.

Just a quick note about the extraordinary Cynthia Woodhead -I remember she was ranked number one in the world at some point in 1980 in the 100, 200, 400, and 800 meter freestyle, but because of the Olympic boycott...
