Many athletes aspire to compete in the Olympic Games. Few ever achieve it.
Nancy Hogshead-Makar was ranked number one in the world for 200-meter butterfly at age 14. At 18, she was part of U.S. team that boycotted the Moscow Olympics, and at 22, she swam in five Olympic finals at the 1984 Los Angeles games, winning three gold medals and one silver medal.
After that, she retired. She was recently profiledin a piece for the sports site Deadspin.com.
She talks with NPR's Lynn Neary about her life after her athletic career.
