Black Male Swimmer in Speedo: Cullen Jones, Olympic Gold Medalist

Who says black guys can’t swim? Not American swimmer Cullen Jones. And he’s not just a swimmer. He is, in fact, an Olympic gold medalist (Beijing 2008, 4×100 freestyle). So enough with the “black men can’t swim” jokes, okay? More photos of Cullen and his wiki info after the jump.

Wikipedia entry on Cullen Jones:

Jones is the first African-American to hold or share a world record (4×100 m freestyle relay) in swimming.[5] He is also the third African-American to make the US Olympic swimming team after Anthony Ervin and Maritza Correia. At the 2008 Olympic swimming trials, Jones broke the American record in the 50 meter freestyle with a time of 21.59. The record was subsequently broken the next day by Garrett Weber-Gale. In the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, he won a gold medal in the 4×100 m freestyle relay in a world record time of 3:08.24 with Michael Phelps, Jason Lezak and Garrett Weber-Gale.
