The Swimswam website opened their post about Missy Franklin’s retirement with this line noting some of her most memorable accomplishments in the pool.
‘Five-time Olympic champ and 11-time World champ Missy Franklin has announced her retirement from competitive swimming at the age of 23.’
My memory is not quite as grand but still very impressive.
Dave Logan has had an afternoon radio show here in Denver forever.
Missy Franklin was a guest a few years ago. She came across as humble, enthusiastic (that should be in all caps), sincere, caring, and…the best guest I’ve ever heard on his or any other radio show.
How exciting to see where Missy takes her contagious spirit in the future.
Maybe she’ll run for president in 2040 with J.J. Watt or Larry Fitzgerald as her running mate.
