At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Misty Hyman stunned the world with her incredible victory in the 200m butterfly, claiming gold against all odds!

While reigning champion Susie O’Neill was the favorite, Hyman’s journey was filled with doubt and determination. With her unique "fish kick" and unwavering belief from coach Richard Quick, she transformed her self-doubt into confidence.

In a thrilling final, Hyman fought off the competition, finishing with a 1.99 second personal best of 2:05.88—just .07 seconds shy of the world record! Her emotional win remains one of the most shocking upsets in Olympic history, proving that with the right mindset, anything is possible!
