Onur Uras (born January 1, 1985) is a Turkish Olympic swimmer who specialized in the butterfly stroke.[1] He is a four-time Turkish national champion, and a member of Galatasaray Swimming Club (Turkish: Galatasaray Spor Kulübü) in Istanbul, under his head coach Yilmaz Ozuak. Uras is also a former varsity swimmer for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and a graduate of industrial engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia.

Career

[edit]

Uras made his first Turkish team, as a 19-year-old, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he competed in the men's 100 m butterfly. He rounded out the third heat to last place and forty-ninth overall by 0.15 of a second behind Algeria's Aghiles Slimani in 56.37 seconds.[2][3]

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Uras qualified again for the men's 100 m butterfly, by establishing a Turkish record and clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 53.97 from the Speedo Champion Series in Atlanta.[4][5] He challenged seven other swimmers on the same heat, including three-time Olympians Jeremy Knowles of the Bahamas, Georgi Palazov of Bulgaria, and Camilo Becerra of Colombia. He edged out Palazov to take a seventh spot by 0.46 of a second in 54.79. Uras failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-eighth overall in the preliminaries.[6][7]
