Each was an individual medalist at worlds or the Olympics &#8211; or both, while Coughlin and Franklin were Olympic gold medalists.<\/p>\n<p>Curzan is the youngest of the group and proved to be at the top of her game on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>It sets up an interesting event on the road to Paris for the U.S. Curzan, Smith, Berkoff and Smoliga are all very much in play with only two Olympic spots in the event.
