Missy Franklin got back to winning at the world swimming championships, and now she's joined a very elite club.
Katie Ledecky does nothing but win in the biggest events.
This much is for sure: The future of the U.S. women's team is in very good hands.
Franklin won her fifth gold medal of the championships with an easy victory in the 200-meter backstroke Saturday, tying the record for most titles by a woman at the every-other-year world meet.
The 18-year-old Franklin has one event remaining -- the 400 medley relay -- and a chance to join Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz and Kristin Otto as the only swimmers to win as many as six golds at the worlds or the Olympics.
