Glenn Buchanan

Glenn Buchanan

Glenn Buchanan (born November 19 1962) was an Australian butterfly swimmer of the 1980s from Townsville, who won two bronze medals in the 100 m butterfly and the 4 × 100 m medley relay, at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

Pitted against the United States' world record holder Pablo Morales and West Germany's Michael Gross, Buchanan swum at such a pace in a vain attempt to keep up that he broke the Australian record, finishing 0.77 s behind Gross, who set a new world record. Each of the first six finishers had improved their respective national records. Buchanan then combined with Mark Stockwell, Peter Evans and Mark Kerry to claim another bronze in the 4 × 100 m medley relay.
