When “Missile Missy” won gold – even before Michael Phelps – in the 100-meter backstroke, teen idol Bieber tweeted:
Heard (at)FranklinMissy is a fan of mine. Now I’m a fan of hers too! CONGRATS on winning GOLD! (Hashtag)muchlove.

Missy is both very mature and youthful at the same time. She has her head and her heart in the right place. All over the state of Colorado there are little girls right now that want to be just like her and I think it’s fantastic. Here she is all the rage and we are all rooting for her. The real challenge has been trying to keep up with what sport is on which channel. Luckily, I upgraded to the Hopper a few months ago on the suggestion of a Dish co-worker. This new DVR comes with three tuners and 2,000 hours of space! That’s four times more than your average DVR and I won’t run out of space when I’m recording all these events. I’m not at all surprised that Missy has a fan in Justin Bieber because she is just stealing the hearts of millions right now. Besides, how awesome is it of him to return the love? Thumbs up to Missy for dedicating all her medals to her home state and we can’t wait for her to come back and celebrate!
