MN Olympian Regan Smith: Coverage over the years

FOX 9 first interviewed Minnesota Olympian Regan Smith in 2013 — her first-ever TV interview — and has interviewed her several times since. Here is a compilation of the interviews with the Olympic swimmer.

PARIS (FOX 9) - Lakeville's Regan Smith won another silver medal for Team USA in the Paris Olympics Friday. 

Smith won the medal in the 200-meter backstroke, finishing with a time of 2:04.26. She finished after Australia's Kaylee McKeown, whose time was 2:03.73, setting the Olympic record with her time.
