Yes. I have an essay somewhere which uses Eric Moussambani as an example. As losing finalist in a single Olympic swimming event we would delete the article.
It continues to worry me that we would delete an article on any Olympian.
Minus the context, this particular one fails the "but I coulda done that" test. In fact if someone just posted something like "Olympic swimmer who did the 100m in 1:53" I'd probably think it was a hoax.
