Inge de Bruijn (born August 24, 1973) is a Netherlands swimmer, and a four-time Olympic Games champion. Born in Barendrecht, De Bruijn tried several sports before settling with swimming. She debuted at the World Championships in 1991, winning a bronze medal with the 4 x 100 m relay race team, with which she had already won a gold medal at European Championships. The following year, De Bruijn made her Olympic debut at the 1992 Summer Olympics, and finished 8th in the 100 m and 4 x 100 m freestyle events. She continued to swim with the best in the next years, but was not motivated enough to compete in the 1996 Summer Olympics, and stayed home. She immediately regretted this decision, and decided to go to the United States to train. Her return was crowned in 1999, when she won the 50 m freestyle swimming at the World Championships. The following year, after having swam several World Records, she competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. She won the 50 and 100 m freestyle, and the 100 m butterfly stroke, setting World Records in all three events. In addition, she won a silver medal with the 4 x 100 m freestyle relay team. She confirmed her status when she won titles in the three same events at the 2001 World Championships, and the 50m freestyle at the 2003 World Championships. At the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens she upheld her gold medal in the 50m free, as well as taking silver in the 100m free, and two bronze: one in the 100m butterfly and another with the rest of the Dutch women's swim team in the 4x100m relay. De Bruijn resides in Eindhoven, the Netherlands but also trains in Portland, Oregon in the United States part of the year. == See also == * List of Swimmers 1973 births Olympic swimmers of the Netherlands Swimmers at the 2004 Summer Olympics
==Doping?== If I remember correctly, she had been accused prior to the Sydney Games of doping, but nothing was ever proven. Does anyone know anything about this? If so, should it be included? User:Beginning 06:36, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)
