American Swimmer Katie Hoff
Swimmer Katie Hoff got her Olympic jitters out of the way at a young age. In the 2004 Olympics, Hoff--at age 15--was the youngest American athlete at those games. But she has said the expectations and pressure of being an Olympic athlete drew her focus from her own strengths. At Athens she finished seventh in the 200m IM and also competed in 400m IM.

American Swimmer Michael Phelps
Baltimore swimmer Michael Phelps won 8 medals in the Athens Olympics in 2004 (6 gold and 2 bronze), but was one short of matching the record 7 gold medals Mark Spitz earned in 1972. In the 2008 Beijing Games, where he’ll compete in 8 events, he gets another chance.

Michael Phelps' Olympic Records to be Broken

Maryland Olympic Athletes
Of course, swimmer Michael Phelps is the Olympic superstar in Baltimore, but Maryland has plenty of Olympic contenders for the 2008 Olympics in Bejing. Phelps' fellow swimmer and teammate Katie Hoff and track and field athlete James Carter are both from the Baltimore area and have competed in previous Olympics.
