The University of California will be well represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing with a record 39 athletes and coaches from 14 different countries having qualified for the Games, as of July 9.

A member of Cal's 2008 Pac-10 champion 200 free, 200 medley and 400 medley relays, Godec placed sixth in the 50 free and 12th in the 100 free at the NCAA meet this past year. On relays, he was part of the Bears' national runner-up 400 medley relay, as well as the third place 200 free, 400 free and 200 medley relays. A veteran of international competition, he anchored Slovenia's 400 medley relay at the 2004 Olympics and placed 12th in both the 50 free and 50 butterfly at the 2007 World Championships. Godec is an immunology and molecular and cell biology major and has received a Pac-10 Postgraduate Scholarship.

To help Golden Bear fans follow the Cal delegation this summer, Cal Athletics has built a special website at http://www.CalBears.com/Olympics, complete with bio information, schedules, results, feature stories and the history of the Bears at the Games. In addition, there is a sortable database of all Cal Olympic results.
