Frank Wiegand (born 15 March 1943) is a German former swimmer, Olympic medalist and world record holder. He participated in the 1960, 1964 and 1968 Summer Olympics, winning a total of four silver medals.[1]
He won eight medals at two European championships, in 1962 and 1966, including four gold medals in freestyle and medley events.[2] In 1966, he also set a new world record in the 400 metres freestyle and was chosen East German German Sportspersonality of the Year.[1]
