Missy Franklin – 6′ 2″ – Swimming

Missy Franklin is one of the biggest names in swimming, and we mean it both literally and figuratively. After all, she’s not just an objectively tall woman at 6’2, but she’s also one of the most impressive female swimmers of the decade. Winning four gold medals in just one year of the Olympic Games is not for everyone, but Missy Franklin did so in London in 2012.

And if you’re still not impressed, please remember she was 17 at the time! Born in California in 1995, Missy retired from professional swimming in 2018. Her last Gold medal was won in 2016 at the Rio Olympic Games.
