Olympian Missy Franklin rose to prominence as one of the world’s top swimmers. She began competing at age 5 and made her international debut at 14. By 16, she had captured global attention with five medals—three of them gold—at the 2011 FINA World Championships. That breakout performance earned her a spot on the U.S. National Team, where she went on to win five Olympic gold medals. In 2013, Franklin further cemented her legacy by winning six more golds at the FINA World Championships, making her the most decorated female swimmer in history. She was later inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Her journey and Olympic preparation were featured in the acclaimed documentary Touch the Wall, which resonated with audiences everywhere.
Celebrated for her radiant smile and charismatic presence, Franklin was named “World Swimmer of the Year” and “American Swimmer of the Year” by Swimming World Magazine, and received ESPY Awards for Best Female Olympian and Best Female College Athlete. Today, she speaks on the values of teamwork, excellence, and perseverance, while actively supporting causes related to genetic disease awareness and research.
