At the 1968 Summer Olympics, Russell won the first-ever gold medal awarded in the men's 100-meter butterfly—an event which made its debut at the 1968 Olympics–in an upset over teammate and favorite Mark Spitz.
He won another gold medal swimming the butterfly leg for the winning U.S. team in the 4×100-meter medley relay.
Russell was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an "Honor Swimmer" in 1985.
