After pressure mounting from both sides and some calling her decision unfair, Missy Franklin announced on Wednesday her decision to swim for her Colorado high school's swim team this season.

Missy Franklin, who won an emotional first gold medal on Monday, was brought back down to Earth on Tuesday evening in London as she fought gallantly but came up short in the 200 Meter Freestyle. Franklin, who has won the hearts of millions of fans with her passion, just missed out on a medal coming in fourth place.

Colorado native Missy Franklin took home the gold for the United States in the 100 meter female backstroke yesterday. Amazingly, the 6 foot 1 inch high school senior won the pivotal event just 10 minutes after she had already competed in the 200 meter semi-final heat. To top that off, the rising swimming star still finished in a stunning 58.33 seconds.

The 2012 Olympic Schedule is filled with must-see events in the swimming category. Both Men's and Women's teams will hit the water today. Among those Olympic athletes are Missy Franklin, Michael Phelps, and Ryan Lochte, each going for the gold.
