Missy Franklin, the nicest Olympian among Olympians, makes swimming fun for everyone–even for officials and timers! This happens a lot at Franklin swim meets, but SwimSwam photographer, Tim Binning, was ready and captured the moment at the 2013 Winter Nationals. Here’a typical talkative moment — only 90 seconds — right before Missy Franklin’s 500 free prelim.

Many thanks to Tim Binning (theswimpicture.com), swimmng photo artist, for capturing these images!
She is a true role model for everyone as her swimming fame has not affected with whom she visits. We all should strive to be like her!

I love these pics.
Unfairly influencing an official. ..
She’s a social butterfly.
