Jens-Peter Berndt is one of the most popular and richest Swimmer who was born on August 17, 1963 in Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany.
Frustrated with lack of freedoms in his country, on 7 January 1985 Berndt spontaneously defected to the United States at the Oklahoma City airport while returning from competitions, leaving his father and sister in Potsdam. Berndt was granted asylum, enrolled to the University of Alabama, became adopted by Thomas and Becky Patterson of Birmingham, and obtained a permanent resident status. While he wanted to compete in the 1988 Olympics for the US, he was not eligible for US citizenship until 1990.
He turned to West Germany. In May 1988 he traveled from the US to Hamburg and finished within top three in two backstroke and two medley events at the national championships. He was thus selected for the 1988 Summer Olympics by West Germany, and allowed to compete by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). While the IOC normally requires from athletes a three-year stay in a country that they are going to represent, the IOC respected the constitution of West Germany that automatically granted citizenship to all East Germans since their birth.
