Tim shaw biography
•
For Tim Shaw, it was unfortunate that the Olympics were not held in 1974 or 1975. He was unbeatable in those years, becoming in 1974 only the second man to hold world records in the 200 m, 400 m, and 1,500 m freestyle events. He accomplished this feat when only 16 years old, and in the space of four days. In 1975, he set five more individual world records, won five gold medals at the World Championships, and received the Sullivan Award, emblematic of the top amateur athlete in the United States. In 1983 he was a member of the gold medal winning water polo team at the Pan American Games and one year later he won a silver medal in water polo at the Olympics.

About Tim Shaw
Having presented primetime speech-based radio shows on nearly all of the UK's biggest commercial radio stations for the last 17 years, and winning more than 14 global comedy and speech radio awards, Tim turned to television seven years ago. Hosting Channel 4's primetime series, 'Extreme Male Beauty' and three series of Ch 5's motoring show 'Fifth Gear' as well as numerous Freeview series, he has now decided to share a well kept secret with the TV industry.
