Nancy Ellen Garapick (born September 24, 1961) is a former Canadian competition swimmer, Olympic medallist, and former world record-holder. She won two bronze medals in the 100-metre backstroke and 200-metre backstroke at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal at the age of 14, behind two East German athletes, Ulrike Richter and Birgit Treiber, who later were confirmed to be longstanding participants of the East German doping scandal of the 1970s. [1]"She set a new Olympic record for the 100-metre backstroke during heats.
Garapick's Olympic performances came on the heels of her world record performance on April 27, 1975 at the Eastern Canadian Swimming Championships in Brantford, Ontario, while a member of the Halifax Trojan Aquatic Club and coached by Nigel Kemp. [2] It was there that she set a new World Record in the 200m backstroke with a time of 2:16:33 at the age of 13.
In 2008, she was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. [3] The official ceremony took place November 5, 2008, in Toronto, Ontario. [4]
In 2018 she was named one of the greatest 15 athletes in Nova Scotia's history. [5]
