The Hawaii born, Duke Kahanamoku had won an Olympic gold medal for the first time in the Stockholm 1912 Olympic Games. In Antwerp 1920, eight years later, not only did he take his second 100 meters freestyle Olympic gold medal, but also broke his own Olympic record. He still came to win another gold medal in the Antwerp Summer Games with the USA 4x200m Men's relay team.
"The Duke", as he was commonly known, later came to win a third Olympic medal in the men's 4x200m relay in Antwerp 1920 Olympic Games. His Olympic medal record still included two more silver medals from Stockholm in 1912 and Paris in 1924.
As a passionate surfer, between his Olympic Games participations, "The Duke" travelled the world for swimming exhibitions where he presented and promoted surfing around the world. For that, the man of many nicknames, Duke Kahanamoku became also known as the "Father of Surfing".

DUKE KAHANAMOKU
(B: 8/24/1890 - D: 1/22/68) Was the first of long line of truly great Hawaiian swimmers. In 1911 in an open water swim he bettered the 100y freestyle record by almost five seconds. He was a three time gold and two time silver medalist in the 1912, 1920 and 1924 Olympics. In 1912 he won a gold in the 100m freestyle and a silver on the 4x200m freestyle relay, in 1920 won the gold in the 100m freestyle and a gold as a member of the 4x200m freestyle relay and in 1924 won a silver in the 100m freestyle. Although viewed with skepticism by the AAU, Kahanamoku went on to set numerous world records. He won his second Olympic title in 1920 on his 30th birthday, but his career was far from over. He won a silver medal in 1924, was an alternate on the 1928 team and in 1932, after 10 years in Hollywood, was an alternate to the U.S. Olympic water polo team. Duke has the distinction of having the longest name in Olympic history; his full name is Duke Paoa Kahinu Makoe Hulikohoa Kahanamoku.
Didn’t they make him redo because he broke it super fast.

Obrigado pelas informações. Muito ricas😊
He had long limbs, big ol' "luau" feet, grew up basically amphibious as we all did in Hawaii, and was very fit and determined. A true ali'i
Lucky enough to meet Duke Kahanamoku when he was in his 70s, All surfers looked up to him during his lifetime.
