Swimmer

The Resume

    (May 10, 1995- )
    Born in Pasadena, California
    Resides in Aurora, Colorado
    Winner of 4 gold medals and 1 bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, and 3 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze at the 2011 FINA World Championships
    Held the World Record in the 200m backstroke

Why she might be annoying:

    She has the nickname 'Missy the Missile.'
    NBC cared about her more than any other female swimmer at the 2012 Olympics.
    A Today Show ad mentioning her first gold medal win aired right before NBC showed her actual gold medal swim for the first time.
    She has support from Justin Bieber.

Why she might not be annoying:

    At the 2012 Olympics, she was the first woman to compete in seven swimming events.
    She is noted for her swimming-friendly feet.
    She opted to swim for the United States even though she probably would have had an easier time representing Canada since her parents are Canadian.
    By sad irony, her hometown of Aurora was victimized by the infamous shooting massacre one week before the 2012 Summer Olympics began. She would dedicate her swims to all the victims.
    She comes across as charming in interviews.
