Country: United States of America
Event: Women's Water Polo
For the second time in as many days, we profile a former USC women's water polo champion who is headed to Rio to try to do the same for Team USA. Unlike Kami Craig though, Kaleigh Gilchrist will be experiencing everything for the first time at this summer's Olympics.
Gilchrist has always been torn between her two passions - water polo and surfing. The two-time U.S. amateur surfing champion will hang up her board for the time being and don the cap of the defending Gold medal winners at her first Olympics.

Gilchrist will want to make the most of Rio as she plans to focus solely on her surf career going forward. "Everything happens for a reason and I am exactly where I want to be right now," Gilchrist said. "But August 20th I am going to be a surfer, hopefully."
