Did you not see the Men's 400 Free Relay?  Cullen Jones, a black American swimmer, helped win the gold medal.  There have been others as well.  Anthony Irvin, another black American swimmer, tied Gary Hall Jr. for the gold in the 50 free in 2000.

Answer 7

Because they prefer athletics.

Answer 8

USA has a black swimmer. I think more of the black athletes are in track and field.  

Answer 9

There are many African-American Swimmers but mostly all that they show are the fast heats, semi's and Finals, and maybe those swimmers arent fast enought, they usally don't show the first 4 heats, it sucks.they usally only show Phleps. but even the Canadian channel doesnt show much of the canadians. sucks big time!

Answer 10

Cullen Jones

You are a douche.

Answer 11

There is. Cullen Jones on team USA and he has a gold medal to prove it.  The article cited below states he "may have shattered the stereotype that blacks can't swim".

BTW stereotypes suck and I think that was a lousy statment to make in a news article.

Answer 12

Bumper crop, now, now, you haven't been following the swimming events. There is a Black swimmer, a very good swimmer that was part of the medley team that won GOLD . Also there are Blacks in other events as well as orientals, Spanish and many other types in the Olympic programs. Watch and see.

Cullen Jones (not sure about the name) who is a part of the 400m men's relay that won the gold is black.

Answer 14
