Frederik ("Fred") Deburghgraeve (born on June 1, 1973 in Roeselare) is a former Belgian swimmer who won the gold medal in the 100 breaststroke and set a world record during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia.
He is now retired from swimming and makes a living as a shoe salesman.
Deburghgraeve was trained by a Dutchman, named Ronald Gaastra.
At the beginning Fred and I were together starting during the 1st week in April around 1989 during training camp in Antwerp.
The first Olympic season for Fred in 1991-1992 we decided to continue with the same planning, doing the same training camps organized by the Olympic committee which were not during school time so automatically he would train more.
We had lactic acid measurements for Fred during competition where he reached 20 which is incredibly high in breaststroke.
