Aram Boghossian

Aram Boghossian (born 19 November 1929) is a former international freestyle swimmer from Brazil.

[3] Graduated in engineering, at the age of 60 he returned to swim in the master category, and works managing the family business.

At the beginning of his career he did not perform well and was advised to leave the sport; but this encouraged him to train even more.

[4] At the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, he finished 8th in the 4×200-metre freestyle final, and swam the 100-metre freestyle, finishing 14th at semifinals (he swam the first round and qualified for the semifinals but, due to the distance separating the pool from the accommodation, he waited for the race at the competition venue and ate improperly, having indigestion that took him out of the race).

[5] At the inaugural Pan American Games in 1951, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he won a silver medal in the 4×200-metre freestyle, along with Ricardo Capanema, João Gonçalves Filho, and Tetsuo Okamoto.
