| dbo:abstract | Faith Yvonne Leech (* 31. März 1941 in Bendigo, Victoria; † 14. September 2013 ebenda) war eine australische Schwimmerin. Leech begann mit dem Schwimmsport, um ihre Skoliose zu bekämpfen. Bereits mit zwölf Jahren schwamm sie 1:07,1 min über 110 Yards Freistil, was als Altersklassenweltrekord bezeichnet wurde. 1955 gewann sie im Alter von dreizehn Jahren den australischen Meistertitel über 110 Yards. 1956 verpasste sie wegen Erkrankung die australischen Meisterschaften, gewann aber bei den Jugendmeisterschaften in 1:04,6 min nur knapp über dem von Dawn Fraser gehaltenen Weltrekord. Bei den Olympischen Spielen 1956 in Melbourne gewann sie hinter Dawn Fraser und Lorraine Crapp in 1:05,1 min die Bronzemedaille über 100 Meter Freistil. Die australische 4×100-Meter-Freistilstaffel mit Fraser, Leech, Sandra Morgan und Crapp gewann die Goldmedaille in der Weltrekordzeit von 4:17,1 min. Leech trainierte eher wenig, erhielt aber wegen ihrer hervorragenden Technik den Spitznamen Fliegender Fisch. Bereits 1957 beendete Leech ihre sportliche Karriere. Nach ihrer Heirat hieß sie Faith Touhy, sie arbeitete im elterlichen Juweliergeschäft und war Schwimmlehrerin im Behindertensport. (de) Faith Yvonne Leech (31 March 1941 – 14 September 2013) was an Australian freestyle swimmer who won a gold medal in the 4×100–metre freestyle relay and bronze in the 100-metre freestyle at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne. A tall and lean swimmer known for her elegant technique, Leech started swimming as a child to build strength after a series of stomach disorders in her infancy. She quickly rose to prominence after breaking a string of age group records. In 1955, she became the youngest swimmer to win an Australian title, claiming victory in the 110-yard freestyle at the age of 13. She twice broke the Australian record in the 100-yard freestyle in late 1955, thereby positioning herself as a leading contender for Olympic selection in 1956. Leech's preparation was hindered by illness, which forced her out of the 1956 Australian Championships, but she recovered to gain Olympic selection in both the 100-metre freestyle and the corresponding relay. Leech produced a late surge to take bronze in the individual event and seal an Australian trifecta, before swimming the second leg in the relay to help secure an Australian victory in world record time. Leech retired after the Olympics at the age of 15; she cited anxiety caused by racing as one of the main factors in her decision.
