Teófilo E. Yldefonso (November 5, 1903 – June 19, 1942)[1][2][3] was a Filipino breaststroke swimmer. He is the first Filipino and Southeast Asian to win an Olympic medal, and the only Filipino to win multiple medals.

Biography

Born in Sitio Bayog, Bgy.4, Bimmanga, Piddig, Ilocos Norte, he began swimming at the Guisit River as a small boy. He started competing in 1921 and collected a total of 144 medals over the next 16 years.[4] He won two bronze medals in the 200 m breaststroke event, at the 1928 and 1932 Olympics, and placed 7th in 1936.

During World War II, Yldefonso fought against the Japanese in Bataan as part of the Philippine Scouts. He survived the Bataan Death March, but later died at the Capas Concentration Camp.[5] His remains have never been recovered.[6]

Legacy

He was named as part of the Hall of Fame by the International Swimming Federation in 2009. Yldefonso's unorthodox style in swimming which would be later known as the "Yldefonso Stroke" has been adapted by pint-sized swimmers, especially those from Asia, particularly the Japanese.[6]

Teófilo Yldefonso also had a daughter named Norma Yldefonso which would compete at the 2nd Asian Games held in Manila, Philippines and won a silver medal in the 100m butterfly event.
