Benjamin Hockin Brusquetti (born 27 September 1986) is an Olympic freestyle swimmer, who has swam international for both Great Britain and Paraguay (his father is British, his mother is Paraguayan).[2]
Hockin represented Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay swimming events where his team finished eighth.
He swam for Paraguay at the 2010 South American Games, where he won 3 silver medals and a bronze medal.[3] However, Hockin did not follow the proper steps to switch his sport nationality and has been banned for one year (retroactive to 23 May 2010).[4]
In September 2011, Hockin was named the flag bearer for Paraguayan team at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.[5]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he was Paraguay's flagbearer, and competed in the 100 and 200 m freestyle and the 100 m butterfly.[6]
He competed again in the 2016 Summer Olympics held in Rio de Janeiro in the 100 m freestyle category, and finished 44th.[7]
