Fast Franzi

World record-holder Franziska Van Almsick, 21, is not only fast in the water, she’s fast when she gets behind the wheel of her Mercedes-Benz. Franzi, Germany’s most popular athlete, was stopped by police recently for driving in excess of 140 kilometers-per-hour (about 90 mph). Last week a court suspended her drivers license for two months.
