RYAN MURPHY: I am Brian Murphy. I'm an Olympic swimmer. I won three gold medals at the 2016 Olympics. I won the 100 and 200 Back at the 2016 Olympics, and I don't think an American has ever repeated in back-to-back games. That's super cool.

I mean, those guys that have come before me are legends. And they're guys that I still look up to. They're role models for me. I keep in touch with all of those American guys that have won backstroke gold at the Olympics, and there's a lot of them. It's just a really cool group to be a part of, and hopefully, this summer is just another stepping stone in my progression.
