Hiroshi Suzuki (鈴木 弘, Suzuki Hiroshi, born September 18, 1933) is a retired Japanese freestyle swimmer. He competed in the 100 m and 4×200 m relay events at the 1952 and 1956 Olympics and won two silver medals in 1952.[1] In the 100 m event in the 1952 Olympics, Hiroshi actually posted an identical time to the eventual gold medal winner, Clarke Scholes of the USA. Officials used a judges decision to award Clarke Scholes the gold medal and Hiroshi Suzuki the silver medal.[2] He won gold medals in these two events at the 1954 Asian Games.
