ISHOF: Adolph Kiefer Golden Medallion Award

“The International Swimming Hall of Fame presented Adolph Kiefer with the Gold Medallion Award, ISHOF’s highest honor, during the United States Aquatic Sports Convention banquet on September 29, at the Orange County Hyatt Convention Center in Anaheim, CA. In a surprise, USA Swimming also presented Kiefer with a gold medal from the 1936 Olympic Games, to replace the one that had been stolen shortly after he returned from Berlin 71 years ago. The medal was specially cast from the original mold for the occasion by the International Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland.”
