An Olympic medalist shouldn't be called a failure, but her performances in Beijing were certainly a disappointment considering the standards she'd set in the time leading-up to the games. In worlds '07 she won the 400IM by 8 seconds! the improvements of others since are due to the suits; she should have been at about 4:25 with current technology.
Who is she? I thought Natalie was the 'golden girl' for the US team. Rebecca Soni totally rocked in Beijing and Kacey Carlson was awesome in Rome 2009!
listen, don't get me wrong, i love katie, she's my favorite swimmer but the expectations were high based on her talent and she didn't deliver......I guess she was too nervous to perform at her best. She has the talent to be the world's number in many events but she is kinda weak mentally.
exactly! making the team for the olympics is huge itself....yes everyone would like to win a gold.....but winning a silver and a bronze is just as good to me. I mean u've come 2nd and 3rd among the BEST swimmers around the WORLD! thats impressive!
She is amazing. I know her personally, and she is a talented young lady who has a long career ahead of her. I'm disappointed that so many of you have so many negative things to say about her. I'd like to see you post world record times at age 14 and make it to the olympics. Shut up, haters.
that is extremly mean to say to som1 she came so far from last olympics she collapsed in the pool deck bc she was so nervous .....dont think u r better bc u r not.....so get a life and learn to respect people..they r just doing what they love

im a huge fan of Katie and can't understand why she failed so bad in Beijing. I seriously tought she was gonna win 3 golds. What happened?

Anyone who calls winning a silver and two bronze medals failing badly has seriously lost all perspective.
I blame the media.

Failed so badly? She made it to the Olympics... that should be enough for anyone.
