BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana swimming and diving junior and German swimmer Rafael Miroslaw has qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Miroslaw swam a 1:46.11 to win the 200-meter freestyle at the TYR Pro Swim Series in San Antonio on April 10. His performance achieved an Olympic Qualification Time and came within the national qualification period (April 1-28), and Miroslaw is one of two individuals in the 200 free to meet German Swimming Federation’s selection policy for Paris 2024.
The German Swimming Federation will officially announce its Olympic team at a later date. Miroslaw will become the second German athlete, and first German swimmer, to represent Indiana University at an Olympics. Men’s basketball athlete Uwe Blab participated in the 1984 and 1992 games.
In 2023-24, Miroslaw completed his third year for the IU swim and dive program, helping the Hoosiers win their third-straight Big Ten Championships. Miroslaw is an 18-time All-American, two-time NCAA runner-up, 10-time Big Ten Champion and three-time first-team All-Big Ten honoree.
