David Plummer won Bronze in the 100 Backstroke at the 2016 Rio Olympics. His path to get there was an uncommonly long one.
At US Olympic Trials in 2004, he just missed making Finals.
At US Olympic Trials in 2008, he placed 7th.
At US Olympic Trials in 2012, he touched 3rd, losing to Nick Thoman by just .12.
At US Olympic Trials in 2016, he got 2nd, just .02 behind Ryan Murphy.
His story is remarkable. Enjoy!
