Amy Van Dyken is one of the greatest swimmers in US Olympics history. In 1996, Van Dyken became the first woman to win four Gold Medals in a single Olympic Games in US history. Van Dyken battled Asthma for her entire career, a truly amazing feat in such a cardiovascular sport as swimming.
Van Dyken was named the 1994 NCAA Female Swimmer of the Year, and in 1995 she won three gold medals at the Pan-American Games. With her sights on the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, the coaches of the US swim team closely monitored Van Dyken's preparation due to her asthma.
Van Dyken's lung capacity measured only two thirds of a normal person's at its best; at times, her lung capacity dipped to only a third. Despite the difficulties, Van Dyken qualified for five events for 1996 Games. After a tough fourth place finish the 100-meter freestyle, Van Dyken collapsed after the race due to leg cramps and breathing difficulties.
Despite this stirring scare, Van Dyken went on to post Gold Medal performances in the 100-meter butterfly and 50-meter freestyle. Her other Gold Medals came from the US relay teams in the 400-meter freestyle and 400-meter medley.
Van Dyken won three gold medals at the 1998 World Championships, but then faced major surgery for shoulder reconstruction. Even with limited training time, Van Dyken made the 2000 Olympic team and won the final Gold Medal of her illustrious career with the world-record-setting 4x100 meter freestyle relay team.
