Medal record

Morgan Knabe (born May 20, 1981) is a former breaststroke swimmer from Canada, who competed for his native country at two consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 2000 (2000 - Sydney, AUS and 2004 - Athens, GR). His best Olympic results were a sixth place in the 100-metre breaststroke, and with the men's 4x100-metre medley relay in Sydney, Australia.[2]
Knabe is known to be outspoken, being forced to apologize after "accusing Olympic gold medallist Domenico Fioravanti of using drugs and saying he wanted to punch the Italian swimmer in the face".[3][4]
After retiring from competitive swimming, Knabe went into coaching. He is currently based in Brisbane as the head coach of Lawnton Swim Club.
