Jenny Thompson hand signed Team USA Speedo Swim Cap 8 Olympic Gold Medals auto

Description

Team USA, Olympics, and USA Swimming fans, you are bidding on a hand signed, original Team USA of a Speedo Swim Cap by 8X Gold Medalist, Jenny Thompson. Sue Rodin, President of Stars & Strategies Inc. was kind enough to donate this piece directly to Zombie Leader’s Comic Art for Leukemia and Lymphoma (CALL) Auction. (Sue was Jenny’s exclusive Marketing Rep for five years and included a signed COA.)
With her eight gold medals and 12 overall medals, Jenny Thompson has won more Olympic medals than any other female swimmer in Olympic history. Born in Danvers, Massachusetts, to a single mother, Thompson earned a scholarship to Stanford University. She went on to compete at four Olympic Games, winning each of her eight gold medals in relay events. One of her biggest accomplishments came in 1999, when Thomson broke the world record in the 100-meter butterfly and broke a nearly 20-year record previously held by her, idol Mary T. Meagher. She made the 2004 U.S. Olympic Swim Team while studying as a medical student. Thompson won two silver medals at the Athens 2004 Games in the 4x100 freestyle and medley relays and retired afterwards.
Partial proceeds from this auction will benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society CT-WHV Chapter. Thank you for your support in eradicating blood cancers
