From Phenoms to Medal Favorites, Meet 26 Women Athletes Ready to Shine at the Olympics

Sport: Swimming
Country: USA

Swimmer Regan Smith made major waves (sorry, we had to) when she broke two world records at the 2019 FINA World Championships, one of which belonged to Missy Franklin. The backstroke specialist is just 19 and recently clinched her first Olympic berth in the 100-meter backstroke, then followed up with a win in the 200-meter butterfly, so we'll see her in both events in Tokyo and possibly some relays as well.
