Career
Coughlin originally comes from Concord . The psychology student from the University of California, Berkeley is considered one of the best back swimmers in the world. At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens , she won two gold medals: 100 m back and with the American 4 × 200 m freestyle relay. In addition to two other relay silver medals, she was also able to win the bronze medal in the 100 m freestyle and was one of the most successful American athletes with five medals in Athens.
At the 2005 World Swimming Championships in Montréal , she became world champion with the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay.
