Stephanie Louise Rice OAM (born June 17, 1988 in Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian swimmer. She currently holds the world record in the 200 m and 400 m individual medley, and won three gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
Rice is trained by Michael Bohl from the St Peters Western Swimming Club in Brisbane. She was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on 26 January 2009.[4][5]
Rice attended Clayfield College in her high school years in Brisbane, Queensland.[10][11] She was romantically linked with fellow Australian swimmer and 50m freestyle world-record-holder Eamon Sullivan; they ended their 2 year relationship in July 2008, just prior to the Beijing Olympics.[12] The couple lived in separate states of Australia (Sullivan in WA and Rice in Queensland) and said the stress of living so far apart and the impending Olympics caused the split, but have conceded that the two are still good friends. She is now linked to fellow swimmer and silver medalist at the Beijing Olympics Ashley Delaney.
