Biography:
Natalie Anne Coughlin (born August 23, 1982 in Vallejo, California) is a American swimmer who has represented the United States at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, and at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. She won multiple medals at both of these Games and became the first woman ever to win a 100m backstroke gold in two consecutive Olympics. She is known for her dominance in a short course pool and for her underwater kicking ability. She currently holds World, American and US Open records in various events.

Natalie Coughlin is the golden child of the Daily Californian sports section. For the third consecutive time, Coughlin is the Daily Cal's Female Athlete of the Year. Coughlin used her 2002-2003 season to set three world, seven American, and three NCAA records. Racing against mere humans, Coughlin won every dual meet event she competed in, going a perfect 24-0. Coughlin capped off her blistering season by owning the NCAA Championships, winning the 100 and 200 yard back and the 100 fly, all for the third straight year. The three victories helped her lock up her third straight NCAA Swimmer of the Year Award and steered the Bears to an eighth place finish in the overall team competition.
