She also made history by becoming the first woman to win back-to-back gold medals in the 100-meter backstroke at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Her ability to perform at the highest level across multiple events, including relays and individual races, solidified her reputation as one of the most versatile swimmers of her generation.
