    Her boyfriend is a swimmer as well and is actually shorter than her. Props to her for having a great personality, great talent, being beautiful, AND having an open mind. I wish her the best :)

      That combined with watch she could do to you or me with the rest of her amazing body is why she's always been one of my personal favourites, we can only dream unfortunately but I'm quite sure Missy can totally destroy lmy little old creaky bed, anytime lol😉😍

    I'm not even american and i support Missy. I support talented athletes, not nations. Be proud of your favourite athletes and stop this stupid fight between the west and the east, cause that's all about politics, racism and ignorance, not sport.Congrats from Europe to all the winners, european, american, chinese, australian, african, whatever.

  • @LivAlexa32
    @LivAlexa32 Před 12 lety

    Monday night, America's 17-year-old Missy Franklin swam a qualifying heat of the 200-meter freestyle, then returned to the pool 14 minutes later and won the gold medal in the 100-meter backstroke.

    no, but I like the way she swims and her personality. I started watching swimming in 2008 Olympics and my interest grew from there

  • @AssMaster0069
    @AssMaster0069 Před 12 lety

    Nicemovie: Didn't u listen! She's been swimming since she was 2 y.o, and training and competing since she was 5 y.o. For 12 years straight now, she has dedicated her life to swimming. Oh and just to let you know, before you can compete and qualify for the Olympics, you have to pass a doping test. Then if you win a medal in a Olympic Competition, you have to take another doping test to receive your medal! So obviously she isn't doping, otherwise she wouldn't of competed.

    Last year, the British swimmer Rebecca Adlington swam a final 50m in 28.91....2 hundredths of a second faster than the Chinese girl's 28.93 final 50m. And Adlington did that in the final 50m of an 800m freestyle race...
    Why weren't questions raised about her? Cos she's not Chinese I guess, right?

  • @OtterAquafina
    @OtterAquafina Před 12 lety

    Actually, I'm a huge fan of Natalie Coughlin as well. But, Missy Franklin is only 17 I believe, and she will even be better in Rio if she stays healthy. I'm also 26, but I definitely appreciate being called a kid as it makes me feel more youthful than I already am. Missy is very unique, as she is a) a great swimmer, b) has a great personality, and c) is very young. She is the female phelps, I'd learn to embrace it.

    She's definately awesome in every way but her amazingly powerful feet are not 13 inches, they are size 13 in a Womens which means they are actually around 11 and a half inches or slightly more,, still crazy big and one of the main and admittedly guilty reasons I've always been a fan of hers, lol😍👍

  • @Jpurihella

    If the chinese girl was american the national media would be calling her a phenom and a once in a generation swimmer. Because she isn't she is doping smh at our media.

    Dunking is only one aspect of basketball and a stupid one at that, The NFL is stupid too. I'd so much rather watch women's sports. Women athletes are awesome and beautiful. It's too bad the Olympics only come around every four years.

    Congratulations Missy on all those medals, you now owe the IRS $8,986 in taxes for each of those gold medals you received while competing on behalf of the United States and $3,500 for that bronze. So far, your tax bill is in excess of $20k. *So far*. Just remember, it wasn't your hard work that earned the medals.
