 * In fact, I was wrong, after a brief search I discover that was Marjorie Gestring of the United States who won gold in 3 meter springboard diving at the 1936 Games in Berlin. She the youngest person to win a gold medal in Olympic history, man or woman.


 * But if you are talking about the youngest swimmer to win an Olympic gold medal, it was Kyoko Iwasaki from Japan with 14 years old and 6 days at Barcelona 1992 on 200 breaststroke (2,26,65) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.53.31 (talk) 21:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
