After watching her sister take to the water, Allison Schmitt decided to take swimming lessons when she was just 9-years-old. Although she allegedly thought about quitting the sport as she got older, she persevered – and it seems this perseverance has paid off. Schmitt made her debut at the 2008 Olympic Games, won a bronze medal, and focused primarily on freestyle events. This trend continued in the 2012 Olympics, where she won five medals. Throughout her short career, she has already won seventeen medals in major international competitions.
