Missy Franklin won five medals at the recently completed World Swimming Championships and moved into sole possession for most career World titles by a woman (11), but the meet could have been even better, her coach said.
Todd Schmitz assessed Franklin’s meet ahead of Franklin’s next competition, a FINA World Cup in Paris this weekend.
The standout performance?
For Schmitz, it was Franklin’s anchor leg as part of the mixed-gender 4x100m freestyle relay Saturday.
Franklin trailed the Netherlands’ Femke Heemskerk by .33 with 50 meters left and appeared to fall even farther behind on the that final length.
