Tiffany Cohen
Tiffany Lisa Cohen (born June 11, 1966) is an American former swimmer who was a double gold medalist at the 1984 Summer Olympics in the 400-meter and 800-meter freestyle.
Her official gold medal time in the 400 Meter freestyle final at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics of 4:07.1, was an American record. Her gold medal time for the 800 meter freestyle was even more memorable, 8:24.95, an Olympic record and just .33 seconds short of a World Record.
The American record Cohen set in the 400 meter freestyle at the Olympics stood for three years until December 1987, when Janet Evans broke it at Florida's U.S. Open, setting a new world record in the process. Though Tiffany would reach many goals in her swimming career, she would retire from swimming before setting a world record.
Cohen is Jewish, and was born to Robert and Shirley Cohen in Culver City, California, in June 1966. She began swimming around the age of eight with California's Culver City Swim Team coached by Bruce Kocsis. When her family fully sensed her swimming potential after she won several national juniors championships, in 1980 they moved her to Mission Viejo to train with the Mission Viejo Nadadores, the premier swimming club in the county. Coached by Mark Schubert, the club was known for training Olympians, and swimmers who were recruited for college scholarships. Her family moved to Mission Viejo from their home in Westchester four months later. With the Nadadores, Tiffany swam year round, often training as much as six hours a day, six days a week. The combined distances for her multiple daily practices could reach 12 miles a day. She attended and graduated Mission Viejo High School around 1984.
While still with the Nadadores in High School in 1981, Cohen won three 400-meter national outdoor championships in a row and in a match with the Soviet Union finished second in the 400 and 800 meters.
On April 10, 1982, in only her second year of international competition, while swimming with the Nadadores, she won the U.S. National Championship at Gainesville, Florida, in the 500-, 1,000-, and 1650-yard freestyle. (Her 1650-yard time - 15:58.52).
In 1982 in early August, she finished third, taking a bronze medal in the 400-meter freestyle at the FINA World Aquatics Championships in Guayaquil, Ecuador. (Her 400-meter time - 4:11:85.4)
In August 1983, she was a gold medalist in both the 400 and 800-meter freestyle events at the Pan American games in Caracas.
