Revision as of 03:56, 15 May 2017
Liam John Tancock (born 7 May 1985) is an English former competitive swimmer who represented Great Britain in the Olympics, FINA world championships, and European championships, and England in the Commonwealth Games. He specialised in backstroke and individual medley events. He is a three-time world champion and a four-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, and holds the world record in the 50-metre backstroke (long course).
Early life
Born on 7 May 1985,[1] his first experience of swimming was waiting poolside while his older brother was learning to swim at a swimming school.[2] Tancock was competing in local swimming competitions by the age of nine.[1] Tancock played for Exeter Chiefs rugby team as a winger until he was thirteen.[3][4] His coach, Jon Randall, convinced him to choose swimming over rugby.[3] He attended Loughborough College where he studied sports science and was awarded with a degree validated by Loughborough University.[5][6]
Swimming career
2000
As a junior for the Exeter Swimming Club, he competed at the British Winter Championship in 2000 at the age of 15. He broke four records and won more medals than any junior under the age of 16 had before him.
2001
He followed this with a gold medal at the 2001 Youth Olympic Games.
2002
Two golds in 2002 at the World Schools Championships.[7]
2005
He competed at a senior level for the first time in 2005 at the 2005 World Aquatic Championships, where he took the bronze medal in the 50m backstroke.[8]
2007
At the Japan International Open in August 2007, he won two gold medals. The first was in the 100m backstroke, which broke the European record time, and his second was in the 200m individual medley with a time of 1:59.19, which was only the second time he had finished with a time of under two minutes. It was a new British record, beating the previous record by a second and a half.[9]
2008
Tancock won several medals at the 2008 World Short Course Championships in Manchester, including a British, European and Commonwealth record time of 50:14 to take the gold medal in the 100m backstroke. The time was only 0.14 seconds off the world record set by American Ryan Lochte.[10] He also won silver in the 50m backstroke and 200m medley.[11]
Competing at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing in the men's 100m backstroke, Tancock finished in sixth position with a time of 53.39,[12] some 0.21 seconds behind the bronze medal position.[1] He also competed in the 200m individual medley, finishing in 8th place with a time of 2:00.76.[12] His preferred event, the 50m backstroke, is not an Olympic event.[13] Tancock said of the lack of a 50m event, "There is a 50m at every other major competition bar the Olympics. Don’t ask me why, but it never has been. It is not an issue but, of course, I would like it to be there".[14]
2009
He broke his own world record winning the gold medal for 50m backstroke at the 2009 World Aquatics Championships. He had set a time of 24.08 in the semi finals, but improved it with a time of 24.04 in the final.[15] It was the second gold of the event for the British team, who took home their best ever tally of seven medals in total.[15] He wore a bodyskin swimsuit which was subsequently banned by FINA at the start of 2010.[16]
2010
In the 50m backstroke event at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, he took the gold medal once more, breaking the Commonwealth Games record with a time of 24.62 in the final.[17] He also took a second Commonwealth gold in the 100m backstroke with a time of 53.59.[12] As of 2010, he was ranked second in the world for the 50m backstroke and third for the 100m,[18] and following his success at the Commonwealth Games he was named BBC South West's Sportsman of the Year 2010.[19]

2011
At the 2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, Tancock retained his world championship crown with a time of 24.5 seconds in the 50m backstroke.[20] It was the second occasion a British male swimmer had retained a world championship title,[21] and he became the first man to retain the 50m backstroke title.[4] He finished sixth in the 100m backstroke with a time of 52.76.[14]
2012
On 5 March 2012, Tancock won the 100m backstroke final at the British trials with a time of 53.16 seconds in the event held at the London Aquatics Centre. The victory qualified him for the 2012 Summer Olympics as part of the British team as the top two of each race qualified automatically.[14][22] Whilst competing at the venue, which was the swimming venue at the 2012 Games, he did not find the controversial ceiling and lighting set up distracting, putting it down to the training he conducted for the 2009 World Championships, which were held outside. Fellow British backstroke swimmer Gemma Spofforth had found the ceiling distracting and disorienting for backstroke swimmers; however, Tancock felt that it might provide British swimmers with an advantage as they would be more familiar with it.[23] As part of his training regime for the Games, he took up ballet, kickboxing and rock climbing in order to improve on his position of sixth at the 2008 Games.[21] He also pushed around his coach's car in order to improve his stamina and transfer his 50m backstroke form to the 100m event.[24] Despite this, Tancock missed out on a medal as he finished fifth in the men's 100m backstroke final in a time of 53.35 seconds.[25] He was also part of the Great Britain team that finished fourth in the 4 × 100 m medley relay, where they finished 32 miliseconds behind the Australian team in third.[26] He has no plans to retire and does not believe that the 2012 Games will be his last Olympics.[2]
2013
Tancock achieved the World Championships qualifying time, but the team coach only choose swimmers who had a chance of being at Rio 2016. As a result of the 50m backstroke not being an event at the Olympics, Tancock was not selected for the team.
2014
At the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Tancock won bronze medals in the men's 50 metre backstroke and the 100 metre backstroke and helped England to win the 4 x 100 metre medley.[27]
2015
At the age of 30, Tancock qualified for the final of the 100m backstroke at the World Aquatics Championships in a time of 53.19.
