Ian Thorpe #1 - Owner of the 200m freestyle!
  = Ian supporters = lenfaz galela soul_girl Dreaming Liz CreekFreak Agnes Bean Reasons why we love Ian: Because he slides gracefully throughout the water Because he righgtfully owns the 200m freestyle. Because he has a charity foundation Because he knows what swimming really is about Because he totally rules in a swimming pool Because regardless the number of medals, he was the best in my list in Athens Because he came third in a race that was not his specialty Because he was humble enough to recognize that all his opponents were important Because he's hot. Because he has a great smile. Because when he hits the water, he just lets himself swim. If anyone wants to be added to the list or has something else to add - just post.

Galela!!! You beat me to it, I was logging in to open this thread with the exact same title. Talk about great minds thinking alike. And proud to give you the banner for this thread and you should start a supporters list and add me to it. Can I call opening the next thread?

well whoever is dating him, is damn lucky. I swear... I'm in this complete crush with this guy! I've always liked swimmers and Jose Meolans is an ultimate favorite (he's from my country so...) but Ian, oh my Swim God, Ian is just out of this world.
What's the name of this girl that he allegedly is dating? __________________

I'm literally in the opposite part of the world, in Argentina. Never been in Australia but I'm considering it now. So, you can imagien there's no info about Ian in here... so if you ever get your hand on sth, share OK?
I promise to go surf the web and find everything I can! __________________

Ian Thorpe, arguably Australia’s most successful and popular sports person, and So Natural Foods Australia Limited (ASX Code: SNF) have entered into heads of agreement to establish two joint venture companies for the exclusive marketing of food and beverage products in overseas markets. Ian Thorpe will also provide endorsement for a range of So Natural beverage brands in Australia and New Zealand. and Ian Thorpe, Australia's elite swimming champion, Olympic Gold medallist and World Record holder, is set to preview his summer 2004 'it' signature underwear collection on Thursday 1st July 2004, 10.30am at David Jones, Market Street Store, Sydney. With Thorpe's focus over past months solely on the 2004 Athens Olympics, Ian Thorpe's 2004 summer collection has been designed and developed in partnership with Australia's leading sleepwear and underwear manufacturer Mitch Dowd Design. "Mitch Dowd has been great over the last 8 months. With the Athens Olympics as my priority, we sat down together and started developing the summer 2004 collection about 8 months ago, hence giving me the time to focus on my swimming. I am thrilled that Mitch Dowd shares the same vision in terms of style, comfort and quality, resulting in such a strong range", says Thorpe. The 'it' collection has a new and exciting line-up of designs within the ranges of Oxygen, Competitor and Altitude and is proud to introduce two new ranges Ripple and Resurge. Each garment is uniquely designed for the fashion conscious and manufactured with performance driven fabrics that will improve comfort for the wearer. Styles included in these exciting ranges are briefs, fitted hipsters, fitted boxer shorts, tanks and t-shirts. Sold EXCLUSIVELY through Australia's leading fashion retailer David Jones, the 'it' collection has been embraced by consumers since its introduction in 2003. "There has been an enormous response from our customers to the Ian Thorpe Underwear range. As a premium destination for Australian and International designer brands the Ian Thorpe range has been well received into the David Jones brand portfolio" said Deborah Foreman, General Manager of Menswear for David Jones. "We are excited to be associated with such an innovative, stylish product range, in addition to having the endorsement of Australia's favourite sporting hero. Since the launch of Ian's collection in 2003, the demand has exceeded our wildest expectations and we are confident that the "it" market share will continue to grow strongly into 2004/05", says Claire Cattanach, Mitch Dowd Design. This preview will be one of Ian Thorpe's final public appearances in Australia prior to his departure for the 2004 Athens Olympics. This all from his official website __________________
