Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu propels herself underwater at a training session in Budapest, Hungary July 15, 2015. Before she became 2014 World Swimmer of the Year and the first to pass the $1 million mark in prize money, Hosszu nearly hung up her goggles, frustrated that she failed to win a medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Instead, she adjusted her thinking and challenged the Olympics-focused training cycle traditionally followed by the sport's top athletes. Olympic medals are no longer her ultimate goal, just one of several aspects to her schedule, she says. As she prepared for the world championships, which are currently taking place in Kazan, Russia, she already had in mind the autumn World Cup series as well. (Photo by Laszlo Balogh/Reuters)
