Missy Franklin

Missy Franklin may be young (she's only 17), but she's seriously accomplished. Not only has she qualified to compete in more Olympic events than any other American woman, but she's a five-time medalist and record-holder. This summer Franklin will compete in seven events (four individual and three relay). Until this year, Natalie Coughlin, Katie Hoff, and Shirley Babashoff were the American women who had competed in the most swimming events, as they had each competed in six.
