Who is Chris Fydler?
Christopher "Chris" John Fydler is a former freestyle swimmer from Australia, who competed in three consecutive Summer Olympics for his native country, starting in 1992. His finest hour came eight years later, when he was a member of the Men's 4×100m freestyle relay team, that defeated the United States and won the gold medal in the prestigious event, alongside Michael Klim, Ian Thorpe and Ashley Callus. It was the first time in Olympic history that the US had been beaten in that event.
Since retiring from swimming in early 2001, he has continued to be active in the swimming and Olympic families. Chris was a board member of Swimming Australia Ltd from 2006-2010, and was appointed as the Deputy Chef de Mission for the Australian Olympic Team competing in London in 2012.
