Franklin is everywhere but on the 2016 United States Olympic team, so far. In 2012, Missy Franklin came to the Olympic trials and treated every final she made as a reason to dance, and she gamboled her way to berths in the London Games in four individual events and three relays. At these trials, Franklin is everywhere. “I think it’s just a matter of trying too hard, thinking a little too much,” Franklin said, referring to her disappointing swims in the backstroke. “Some people see it as, ‘Oh, you’re swimming so well so why not keep going?’” DiRado said.
