Duke Kahanamoku, pictured here in 1931, was the greatest #swimmer of his time. He won the 100-meter freestyle race in the 1912 and 1920 @オリンピック, and at one time, held every freestyle record up to a half-mile. Duke revolutionized swimming, with the introduction of the flutter kick he developed in his native #Hawaii. For 16 years he reigned as international swimming’s sprint champion. But in 1932, 2 decades after his first #Olympic triumph, Duke failed in his sixth attempt to make a @usaswimming team. And so he switched gears. “I was 42 then,” Duke later said. “You begin to slow down a little when you get around 40. That’s why I switched to water polo.” This photo of swimming’s “grand old man,” taken when Duke was 41 and training for the 1932 Olympics, in which he competed on the @usawp team, comes from the @ニューヨーク・タイムズ #archives. As @nytimessports prepares to head to #Rio, we'll be sharing more photos from #Olympics past. #nytweekender
