Missy Franklin just bagged herself $10,000! But what to do with it?

  • 3,802 nose clips
  • 58 fancy watches to time how fast she is going
  • a speedboat (so her coach can keep up)
  • Give it back so she can still swim as an amateur in NCAAs
  • Save it up so she can go to college in the first place (hmmm)
Anyway well done Missy - the first woman to break an individual world record (short or long course) since the suit ban. Her splits: 28.64; 58.86 (30.22 - on the 3rd length she just pulled away from Lizzie and Belinda); 1:29.61 (30.75); 2:00.03; 30.42.
