The only woman to have won three individual titles in World record times.
She first got her name in the world record book by equalling
Dawn Fraser's long-standing mark in the 100 metres
freestyle. By december of the same year, she held all freestyle world records
up to 1500 metres. By the München Games, Miss Gould was so regarded
by the American swimmers that they wore T-shirts stating 'all that glitters
is not Gould'. She tried to win five individual titles, but failed narrowly
on the 100 and 800 metres. She retired (or turned professional) after the
München Games, at the tender age of 16.
