Sheila Bio - SHARKS Swim Team

Sheila Taormina
Sheila Taormina is an U.S. Olympic athlete who has competed at four Olympics
and was the first woman to qualify for the Olympics in three different sports.
Taormina competed at the 1996, 2000, 2004, & 2008 Olympics and was the first
woman to qualify for the Olympics in three different sports (swimming, triathlon
and modern pentathlon). At the 1996 Summer Olympics, she earned a gold
medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the women's 4x200-meter
freestyle relay.
Swimmer
While swimming collegiately for the Georgia Bulldogs, Taormina earned a BBA in 1992
and an MBA in 1994 from the University of Georgia. She captained Georgia's 1991
team, won All-America honors all four years of her collegiate career and won the
Southeastern Conference 400-meter individual medley as senior. She was the first
UGA swimmer to win an Olympic gold medal and the first UGA athlete to make the
Olympic team in multiple sports.
Triathlete
Taormina competed at the first Olympic triathlon at the 2000 Summer Olympics. She
took sixth place with a total time of 2:02:45.91. In 2004, while residing in Florida,
Taormina won the ITU Triathlon World Championship in Madeira, Portugal. In the 2004
Summer Olympics, Taormina again competed in the triathlon for the United States.
Modern pentathlete
Post-Athens, Taormina embarked on a new sport, modern pentathlon, winning the
women's senior division of the 2005 Pan American Championships. She was successful
in qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Games in the modern pentathlon, making her the first
female athlete to qualify for the Olympics in three different sports.

The swimming competition at the 1996 Summer Olympics was held at the
Georgia Tech Aquatic Center in Atlanta, United States, which was built for the
games. There were 762 competitors from 117 countries. This was the last
Olympics where swimming B-finals were held.
At the time of the games, the facility had a temporary 50m warm-up pool located
behind the locker rooms and entry concourse (on the ground); as well as a
temporary roof, and open walls (there were wall-like structures/curtains at the
diving well and turning end of the pool). The open walls allowed for temporary
seating to be in place during the games. A wall and new roof have since been
placed on the facility.

ITU Triathlon World Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The ITU Triathlon World Championships have been held annually since 1989,
the same year as the formation of the International Triathlon Union – the world
governing body of triathlon. The championship races for elite (adult) men and
women was complemented with junior races from 1990 and with under-23 events
from 2002.
The elite championship races are currently held over the standard (Olympic)
distance of 1500 m mass-start open-water swim, 40 km draft-legal cycle and
10 km run.
Beginning with the 2009 racing season, the format of the ITU Triathlon World
Championship was changed from a single championship race format to a series
of world championship events culminating with a grand final race, branded as the
World Triat[edit]

ITU Aquathlon World Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The ITU Aquathlon World Championships have been held annually since
1998, typically a few days preceding and in the same location as the ITU
Triathlon World Championships, however since 2007 the championships have
been held as totally separate events in different locations. The championships
involve a continuous run-swim-run, typically with each run being 2.5 km and the
swim being 1 km (however the distances have varied during the event's history).
The championships are organised by the International Triathlon Union.
