Olympic Trials begin in just four days, and you can bet that once again, Missy Franklin will be in the spotlight. Franklin made her first Olympic team four years ago in Omaha, Neb., in the very same building, and she went on to win four gold medals in London.
The years since have been filled with more superstar moments—including her six-gold-medal effort at the 2013 World Championships and a dominant effort at the 2015 NCAA Championships—and some rough ones, most notably at the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships where back spasms derailed her meet.
Before she heads out to Omaha, Franklin took some time to look back on the past year-and-a-half and give some insight on Olympic Trials
Swimming World: How did you try to stay focused and positive when you had such an up-and-down meet in Kazan last summer?
Missy Franklin: Last year was really a year of transition for me. From ending my collegiate career at Cal Berkeley to becoming a professional swimmer and moving back to Colorado, I experienced a lot of changes in my life. My trip to Kazan did have some highs and lows, but it was really a great learning experience overall. I didn’t necessarily have the results I wanted in some of my individual races, but each race taught me a lot about who I am as a swimmer and an athlete. Every time I get to represent the USA it is such an honor, and despite not being where I wanted to be in my races, I did I everything I could to represent my country in the best way possible, and I am very proud of that.
