Olympic Swimmer Torri Huske Eyes 2028 LA as Final Games

After winning four gold medals in Paris, Olympic swimmer Torri Huske has her sights set on one final competition: the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

The 22-year-old Stanford graduate confirmed she plans to keep swimming for four more years, with a perfect ending in mind. "I want to hopefully make it," Huske said after competing at the 2026 NCAA Championships. "I think it would be really cool to end it on a home games and then that would probably be my last meet ever."

Huske's Olympic journey started young. At just 18, the Arlington, Virginia native qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where she missed bronze in the 100-meter butterfly by a heartbreaking 0.01 seconds. She still took home silver as part of the US women's relay team.

Paris 2024 proved her breakthrough moment. Huske won gold in the 100-meter butterfly and silver in the 100-meter freestyle. She helped Team USA shatter two world records in relay events, touching the wall in 3:49.63 for the women's 4x100 medley and 3:37.43 for the mixed 4x100 medley. She collected four gold medals and one silver medal total.

For now, Huske will stay at Stanford through the summer, training with her college teammates. The community that supported her through her senior season will continue preparing her for the biggest stage.

Why This Inspires

Huske's decision to compete at 2028 represents more than personal ambition. By choosing to end her career at a home Olympics, she's giving American fans a chance to celebrate her journey in person. Young swimmers watching from the stands will see proof that dedication and resilience pay off.

Her story also shows the power of perspective. That fourth-place finish in Tokyo by one-hundredth of a second could have broken her spirit. Instead, it fueled three more years of training that led to four gold medals.

Tickets for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics opened to the general public this week, giving fans their first chance to secure seats for what could be Huske's final swim.
