I also have a lot of Skrillex, Flux Pavilion, Kotori, Excision, and NGHTMRE on there. I stumbled on Kill the Noise opening for Seven Lions at a small concert in L.A. Even though their songs are a little more mellow, I include them because they make me happy. Kygo and Avicii are my ultimate favorites. What’s on her playlist: “It’s mainly made up of dubstep and electronic dance. It’s just a reminder to go out and give everything I have in that moment.” April RossĢ012 Olympic silver medalist, 2016 Olympic bronze medalist But that line ‘If I die today remember me like John Lennon’ gets me going every time I step on the mat. Of course, it’s the clean version that I’m most comfortable with. Song that gets her most ready to compete: “Right before I step on the mat, I’m always singing the song ‘John’ by Lil Wayne in my head.

I have no idea why that song came on, but it did, and it sticks with me.” Cat OstermanĢ004 Olympic gold medalist, 2008 Olympic silver medalist, 2021 Olympic silver medalist Most memorable song before the swim of his life: “At trials when I made the team in the 100 free I was randomly listening to ‘Hot Blooded,’ the Eighties song. He’s super into Blink so that’s how I got into it.” Growing up, I would just take whatever was in his library and I still do that. Why he’s such a big Blink-182 fan: “I’m 24 and my older brother is 28. I have an enormous playlist that I just leave on shuffle, so you might also get modern-day pop and some Taylor Swift in there, too.” Go-to artists: “I’m into pop-punk, so my top hits are anything by Blink-182, the Menzingers, and Driveways.
