Natalie Coughlin trains hard, but she also trains smart.
The 29-year-old captain of the US women's swim team won her 12th Olympic medal in London, despite quitting for 18 months after the Beijing Games.
Coughlin decided to take a break from the pool after successfully defending her 100m backstroke title in 2008 and married club coach Ethan Hall eight months later.
