23歲的美國女泳將、曾經有過「女版菲比斯」稱號的富蘭克林在Instagram撰文宣布退役。她說這是自己寫過最困難的一封信，有很多說話想講，想多謝一直以來支持她的人。富蘭克林說：「今天我宣布從競技游泳項目退役了。這不是終結，反而我視之為新開始。游泳一直是我生命中重要的部份，未來也是這樣，只不過我會換個方式繼續去接觸這項我認為是世界上最好的運動。希望自己可以啟發他人在泳池內外都做到最好，我也期待新一章，看看我和游泳的關係如何再進步和成長。」

富蘭克林擅長背泳及自由泳，她成名於2011年上海世錦賽，當年拿到3金1銀1銅，翌年倫敦奧運奪得4金1銅，是女泳手中的最大贏家，無負「女版菲比斯」之名，2016里約熱內盧奧運也贏得4x200米自由泳接力金牌。不過，她在2017因肩傷做手術錯過世錦賽，之後開始淡出賽場。

This was perhaps the hardest letter I’ve ever had to write. There are so many words to say and I thank you all for letting me share them with you, and for your continued support. Today, I announce my retirement from competitive swimming. A link to my letter to you all is in my bio. “This is by no means the end. Rather, I choose to look at this as a new beginning. Swimming has been, and always will be, a big part of my life and I absolutely plan to stay involved in what I believe is the best sport in the world, just in a different way. I hope to continue to inspire others to be their best, both in and out of the pool, and I’m truly excited about this next chapter and how my relationship with the sport will continue to change and grow.” Thank you❤️
