Missy Franklin became a world media superstar at age 17 when she won 5 Olympic Medals at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, with 4 of them Gold.

Born in Pasadena, CA, but raised in Colorado, Missy’s Canadian parents urged her to begin swimming.

She accepted a scholarship for UC-Berkeley, and is currently preparing for the next Summer Olympics competition.
