Welcome to the official site of U.S. Olympian Garrett Weber-Gale. Get to know Garrett as an athlete, an "Athletic Foodie™" and more. Also see his new blog.
On August 11, 2008, (Beijing time) Garrett realized a life-long dream by winning his first of two Olympic gold medals as part of the U.S. 4 X 100 relay team. That race is now widely considered to be the best relay of all time. His second Gold came in the last event of the games in the 4 X 100 medley. Garrett was the first American to break 48 seconds in the 100 meter freestyle (47.78) and is the American record holder in the 50 with a time of 21.47. Check out his offical U.S. team bio at the NBC Olympics site. Be sure to visit his online photo gallery there as well.
As a Texas Longhorn alum, Garrett continues to train at Texas and says he can't imagine a better place for swimmers than with Coach Eddie Reese and Assistant Coach Kris Kubic. Name another program that has ever put eight men on Team USA at one time. Hook 'em Horns!
Garrett is an avid "Athletic Foodie™" who battles high blood pressure and is very careful about what he eats: "To get the nutrition and taste I wanted, I had to start cooking," he said. "It's become a real passion." And now he's soliciting healthy recipes from visitors.
