Who is Chris Woo?
Christopher W. T. Woo is an American former competition swimmer and world record-holder. He represented the United States at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec. Woo competed in the final of the men's 100-meter breaststroke and finished eighth in a time of 1:05.13. He also swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the men's 4x100-meter medley relay, but did not receive a medal because he did not swim in the final.
In 1976 he set the U.S. national high school record in the 100-yard breaststroke at 55.99 seconds, which would stand as the record until broken by 1992 Olympic 100-meter breaststroke winner Nelson Diebel.
Since his retirement from competition swimming, Woo became a dentist.
