00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,800
Olympian Missy Franklin was expected to dominate 
her swimming events at the Olympics in Rio,

2
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:18,000
but when her Olympic run was over, she hadn’t 
even qualified for an event final.

3
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:25,100
That disappointment could have crushed her, 
but she recognized her opportunity to be 
“a different kind of role model.”

4
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:32,300
In her book "Relentless Spirit," she wrote, 
“It’s one thing to inspire…by winning a bunch 
of medals.…

5
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:38,100
It’s another thing entirely to be an inspiration 
when things aren’t exactly going your way.”

6
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,300
Franklin instinctively knew that defeat wouldn’t 
define her,

7
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:48,700
but her reaction to it would. May we learn 
from her choice to live graciously,

8
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,500
in both victory and defeat. I’m Mac Hammond, 
and this is the Winner’s Minute.
