My Take
Regan Smith is the kind of athlete who makes me recalibrate what early peaking even means. Dominating her age group as a teenager is common; backing it up with two golds at the 2019 World Championships and three medals at the Tokyo Olympics is not. Her specialty in backstroke and butterfly, the two most technically punishing strokes, tells me she has range as well as raw speed. What interests me most is the road ahead. Plenty of teen prodigies fade, but her trajectory and that Lakeville, Minnesota work-ethic stereotype suggest she's built to last. I'll be watching how she ages into her prime.
