All four women have won multiple medals in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Simone Manuel, the first African American woman to win an individual swimming event at the Olympics, won four medals – two gold, two silver – in four events in Rio. The Americans have won three of the last five golds, including the last one in London while setting the world record.
