When everything is all said and done, U.S. Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin might be the biggest star to come out of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. At just 17, she's already won a gold medal in the 100-meter backstroke and a bronze in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay. And, it looks like there's plenty more success to come.
But, forget the Olympic medals. Last night, she got what she really wanted when her crush Justin Bieber sent her a tweet shortly after she struck gold.
heard@franklinmissy is a fan of mine. now im a fan of hers too. CONGRATS on winning GOLD!#muchlove
“@justinbieber: heard@franklinmissy is a fan of mine. now im a fan of hers too. CONGRATS on winning GOLD!#muchlove” I just died! Thankyou!
Like, OMG! BIEBS!!!!!!! Seriously, though: Sometimes, it's good to remember that a lot of these Olympic athletes will be going back to homeroom in the fall. It makes what they're doing over in London even more impressive.
