thompsonDuring her Olympic career, Thompson won 12 medals, eight of which were relay gold; the most for any female Olympic swimmer in history. In four years at Stanford, she was a member of four NCAA championship teams, considered to be some of the most dominant collegiate teams in NCAA history. During that time, Thompson amassed 19 individual and relay NCAA titles. She also set school records in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyles and 100 butterfly, all since broken. Thompson seemingly retired from competition after the 2000 season before winning five medals in two days in 2002. At age 31, Thompson was the oldest member of the 2004 U.S. team, competing in her fourth Olympics in Athens.
