While studying in the United States, he held the 50-yard freestyle time (20.89), the second fastest in school's record books, and also played for the Western Illinois University's swimming and diving team under head coach Jerry Champer.[2][3] Beridze competed only in the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Despite finishing among the top 25 swimmers from the European Championships in Helsinki, Finland, he received a ticket from FINA, under a Universality program, in an entry time of 24.13.[2][4] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including two-time Olympians Howard Hinds of the Netherlands Antilles and Emin Guliyev of Azerbaijan. Racing on the outside lane, he faded down the stretch to pick up a third seed in 24.28, a small fraction outside his entry standard. Beridze failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-fourth overall in the prelims.[5][6] References1. ^{{cite Sports-Reference |title=Zurab Beridze |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/be/zurab-beridze-1.html |accessdate=10 June 2013}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|title=WIU Swimmer to Compete in 2000 Olympics|url=http://www.wiu.edu/news/newsrelease.php?release_id=490|publisher=Western Illinois University|date=28 August 2000|accessdate=10 June 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Champer Inducted Into WIU Athletic Hall Of Fame|url=http://www.georgiadogs.com/sports/c-swim/spec-rel/092512aaa.html|publisher=Georgia Bulldogs|date=25 September 2012|accessdate=10 June 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Swimming – Men's 50m Freestyle Startlist (Heat 3)|url=http://www.omegatiming.com/File/Download?id=000100060000000000FFFFFFFFFFFF00|format=PDF|work=Sydney 2000|publisher=Omega Timing|accessdate=23 April 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000: Swimming – Men's 50m Freestyle Heat 3|url=http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf|format=PDF|work=Sydney 2000|publisher=LA84 Foundation|page=103|accessdate=28 April 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Results from the Summer Olympics – Swimming (Men's 50m Freestyle)|url=http://www.canoe.ca/2000GamesResults/sep21.html|publisher=Canoe.ca|accessdate=7 June 2013}} External links
