Tragic Saga of Swimming Champ

 

Olympic and world swimming champion Otylia Jedrzejczak could face eight years in prison after being charged with unintentionally causing a fatal car crash.

Her 19-year-old brother died in the crash two months ago in Poland.

She had been trying to overtake several cars when her car veered off the road and hit a tree.

Jedrzejczak won the 200 metres butterfly title at the Athens Olympics last year ahead of Australia's Petria Thomas, and broke her own world record at the world championships in Montreal in July.

A sentence is not expected for some months.
