Leah Smith
Leah Smith has proven time and time again that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the pool. Her only appearance on the Olympics stage was in 2016, where she competed in three categories and earned a bronze in the 400-meter freestyle and gold alongside a six-person crew in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay.
Although her track record would prove that she was more than qualified to compete in Tokyo, unfortunately for her, she didn’t make it past the trials. At 26 years old, the odds that she’ll make it to the upcoming Olympics in Paris are pretty slim, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed!
