María Virginia Garrone (born November 12, 1978, in Córdoba) is an Argentine former swimmer, who specialized in individual medley events.[1] She is a 2000 Olympian and a fifteen-time Argentine national champion in a medley double (both 200 and 400 m).[2] [3] During her sporting career, she trained for the swim team at Club Atletico de Córdoba under her longtime coach and mentor Daniel Garimaldi.[4]

Garrone competed only in the women's 200 m individual medley at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She set a meet record achieved a FINA B-cut of 2:20.59 from the South American Open Championships in Mar de Plata.[5] [6] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including Czech Republic's three-time Olympian Hana Černá and South Korea's 15-year-old Nam Yoo-Sun. Garrone pushed off an early lead with a dominant butterfly leg, but faded down the stretch on the remaining laps to pick up a fifth seed in 2:22.98, almost 2.4 seconds below her entry standard and 5.4 behind leader Cerna. Garrone failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed twenty-ninth overall in the prelims.[7] [8] [9]
