Dulyarit "Goh" Phuangthong (Шаблон:Lang-th; born December 31, 1977; nickname: 'Goh') is a Thai former professional swimmer who specialized in backstroke, butterfly and individual medley events.[1] He is a two-time Olympian (1996 and 2000), a finalist in the 100m backstroke at the 2002 Asian Games, and a multiple-time medalist at the Southeast Asian Games since his debut in 1995.

Phuangthong's Olympic debut came at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. There he finished thirty-eighth in the 100m backstroke (58.32), and twenty-sixth in the 200m backstroke (2:05.26).[2][3] Phuangthong also teamed up with Torlarp Sethsothorn, Ratapong Sirisanont, and Niti Intharapichai in the 4×100m medley relay. Leading off the backstroke leg in heat four, Phuangthong recorded a time of 59.13, but the Thais settled for sixth place and twenty-second overall in a final time of 3:56.80.[4]

At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Phuangthong decided to drop half of his backstroke double, and experiment with the 200m butterfly. He posted FINA B-standards of 58.48 (100m backstroke) and 2:03.11 (200m butterfly) from the Southeast Asian Games in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.[5][6] On the second day of the Games, Phuangthong placed forty-third in the 100m backstroke. Swimming in heat two, he raced to third place in a matching entry time of 58.48, just a 1.36-second deficit behind winner Sung Min of South Korea.[7][8] The following day, in the 200m butterfly, Phuangthong challenged seven other swimmers in the same heat, including 19-year-olds Zoran Lazarovski of Macedonia and Juan Pablo Valdivieso of Peru. He held off Croatia's Lovrenco Franičević to earn a fifth spot and thirty-eighth overall in 2:04.15.[9][10]

At the 2001 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Phuangthong collected a total of three medals: a gold in the 200m individual medley (2:05.75), and two silvers in the 100m backstroke (57.71), and as a member of the Thailand team, in the 4×200m freestyle relay (7:39.46).[11][12][13]

At the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, Phuangthong finished seventh in the 100m backstroke at 59.04, holding off Singapore's Gerald Koh by 0.37 seconds.[14] Shortly after the Games, Phuangthong announced his retirement from professional swimming.

Phuangthong is now working as a swimming coach at St Andrews International School Bangkok.[15]
