Career

Markus Rogan (Vienna 2008)

In 1996 Markus Rogan moved to the USA and then studied International Relations and Economics at Stanford University . After completing his studies at Stanford University, Rogan trained with Robert Michlmayr, the Austrian Trainer of the Year 2005. From 2004 to 2009 he lived in Vienna again. At the 2001 World Swimming Championships , he managed to win his first world championship medal with second place over 200 meters back . On December 8, 2005, Rogan set a new world record over 200 meters back on the short course with 1: 50.43 minutes.

In Athens 2004 Rogan took part in the Olympic Games for the second time after Sydney 2000 and won the first medal in swimming for Austria since the women's 4 × 100 meter crawl relay in 1912 . In a final, in which he was still in last place after the first length, he was able to fight his way to the silver medal.

Over 200 meters back Rogan was also second; it was the 100th medal for Austria at the Summer Olympics. After the race, the winner Aaron Peirsol was disqualified because of an alleged leg fault after the third turn and Rogan was declared the winner. But a protest by the Americans was allowed, so Peirsol was still the winner; counter-protests from Austria and Great Britain were dismissed. Rogan later stated that Peirsol was the better swimmer who earned the gold medal alone. In September 2004 he received the Special Fair Play Award from the European Fair Play Movement (EFPM) for his exemplary behavior , and in October 2004 he was voted Sportsman of the Year in Austria. After these successes, he became an advertising medium for Raiffeisen , Spar and Cosmos and was hired to host the Life Ball alongside Barbara Schöneberger and Erol Sander .

From January 2007 he trained with the Italian coach Claudio Rossetto in Rome and continued to compete for SV Schwechat. At the Universiade in Bangkok he won over 200 m back gold and over 100 m back silver.

In addition to several silver and bronze medals at world and European championships, Rogan was also eight times European champion. On April 13, 2008, he became world champion over 200 meters back at the short course world championships in Manchester in the new world record time of 1: 47.84 minutes and relegated defending champion Ryan Lochte to second place by 0.07 seconds. He also improved Lochte's previous world record by 1.21 seconds and his personal best, which was also a European record, by 2.02 seconds.

At the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 , Rogan achieved ninth place in the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay (with Brandl , Koll and Janistyn ) in a new Austrian record time (7: 11.45 min). He missed the 100 m back final by 4/100 seconds and was also ninth overall. On August 15, Rogan was third in the 200 meters back after three lengths, but was overtaken by Arkadi Arkadjewitsch Vyattschanin in the last 50 meters and hit fourth in 1: 55.49 minutes, with which he set his own Austrian record improved by 25/100 seconds.

In 2009 he improved the Austrian record at the Universiade three times, but only achieved fourth place as his best placement because his swimsuit had torn in the final and he could no longer make the time from the semi-finals. At the swimming world championships in Rome in August 2009, he competed over 100 m and 200 m back, but did not reach the final. After the World Cup and his "beating affair" in a discotheque , he moved to New York and trained with Dave Salo in Los Angeles to prepare for the short course World Cup. That is why he prematurely ended his trainee program with his main sponsor at the time, Raiffeisen .

At the first stop of the World Cup in Durban , he broke five Austrian records. At the World Cup meeting in Stockholm he won over 200 meters back and improved his own European record. Just a week later in Berlin, the Russian Arkady Vyatchanin improved this record. At the World Cup meeting in Singapore he set a new Austrian record, this time over 100 meters back. At the European Short Course Championships in 2009 he won gold in the 200 meter medley on December 10, 2009 with the new European record time of 1: 51.72 minutes.

In 2010 Rogan won two silver medals at the European Championships . On August 28, 2010 he was named Sportsman of the Year by the municipality of Vienna. At the short course world championships in Dubai he won a silver medal over 200 meters medley and a bronze medal over 200 meters back.

In December 2011 he struck second at the European Short Course Championships in Stettin over 200 meters in 1: 53.63 minutes and won another silver medal.

In 2012 he took part in the XXX. Summer Olympics in London participated in the Olympic Games for the fourth time. At the opening ceremony he was the flag bearer of the Austrian Olympic team when the athletes entered the stadium. In the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay he swam with a personal best time of 1: 48.13 minutes in his split, but the relay took 16th place overall. In the 200 m individual medley competition he was fourth in his semi-final round, initially ninth overall and would have reached the final in eighth place after Chad le Clos had withdrawn . He was disqualified because of a not allowed dolphin kick during a turn . The protest of the Austrian delegation against this decision was rejected.

With a total of 34 medals won at major events, he is the most successful Austrian swimmer.

After the end of his active athletic career, Rogan began working as a psychotherapist in his adopted home Los Angeles . His mother, a psychiatrist, and stepfather, a psychologist, are also active in this field. While he only works as a psychotherapist in his own practice on the side, he is one of the directors of Paradigm Malibu , a facility for teenagers with depression, anxiety disorders and drug problems in Malibu . At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro , where he was particularly noticeable because of what he said in an interview with ORF, he was a sports psychologist for the Brazilian swimming team. Willibald Ruttensteiner , sports director of the Israeli national soccer team , brought him to the team around national trainer Andreas Herzog as a mental trainer in March 2019 .
