And all this, despite missing out on his favourite event.

Nineteen year old Don Schollander is the world’s most honored active swimmer. No swimmer in any year has received the honor that came to Schollander in 1964. His selection as top athlete at the 1964 Olympics, plus his award as U. S. and World Athlete of the Year are proof that swimming has come of age and is long overdue on having its own Hall of Fame.
Jul 1, 1972 · Don Schollander has an interesting story! I would love to see what could be done with his story if written by someone like Daniel James Brown who wrote The Boys in the Boat--and then made into a movie! Schollander won 4 gold medals at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics! That's pretty amazing especially at the age of 18.
