comments: Son of Olympic medal winner Gary Hall Sr, Gary Jr has certainly made a name for himself in the world of swimming. Gary was a superstar leading up to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, but fell short to Alexander Popov of Russia. 2000 was a different story in the 50m free at least. There he tied with fellow countryman and training partner Anthony Ervin for the gold. Boasting that he and his teammates would bury the Aussie's in the 400m free relay, the Australian team, led by the amazing Ian Thorpe proved him wrong. Still, Gary's performance in the 2000 Olympics is nothing to be sad about. He walked away with 4 medals, 2 of them gold. Besides being a champion swimmer, Gary's also quite a babe, isn't he?
Latest News:
