Four time Olympic Silver Medalist Kara Lynn Joyce discusses Lia Neal and Amanda Weir in USASwimming.com’s Silver Linings.
If you're a regular human, the odds of becoming one of Team USA's 554 Olympic athletes are slim to none. The odds of returning for another Olympics are slimmer. And returning to defend a medal in the same event is rarer still. That's part of what makes Lia Neal such a BFD.
