American swimmer (1943–2014)
Gary Steven Ilman (August 13, 1943 — August 16, 2014) was an American former competition
swimmer , two-time Olympic gold medalist, and former world record-holder in two relay events.
[1]
Ilman made his international swimming debut as a member of the U.S. national swimming team at the
1963 Pan American Games in São Paulo, Brazil. He was a member of the U.S. squad that won the gold medal in the
men's 4×200-metre freestyle relay , together with his American teammates Richard McDonough,
David Lyons and
Ed Townsend .
Ilman represented the United States at the
1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, where he won gold medals as a member of the first-place U.S. teams in the
men's 4×100-meter freestyle relay and
men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay .
[1] In both freestyle relay events, Ilman and his American teammates broke existing world records.
Steve Clark ,
Mike Austin , Ilman and
Don Schollander set a new world record of 3:33.2 in the 4×100;
[2]
[3]
[4] then Clark,
Roy Saari , Ilman and Schollander set a new world mark of 7:52.1 in the 4×200.
[3]
[5]
[6]
In individual competition, he finished fourth in the
100-metre freestyle event final. In a controversial outcome, both Ilman and German swimmer
Hans-Joachim Klein were officially timed at 54.0 seconds (to 1/10 of a second), and were still tied at 54.00 (to 1/100 of a second) using the new unofficial electronic timing, but the judges on their own initiative awarded the bronze medal solely to Klein on the basis of the unofficial electronic time taken to 1/1,000 of a second.
[7]
Ilman finished his international swimming career at the
1965 World University Games in Budapest, Hungary, where he won a pair of gold medals as a member of the winning U.S. relay teams in the 4×100-metre and 4×200-metre freestyle relay events, and a bronze medal in the 100-metre freestyle.
Ilman died on August 16, 2014, at the age age 71.
