Elizabeth Beisel is swimming in a lot of pain at the U.S. Olympic trials.

The two-time Olympic medalist broke her left pinky finger when she collided with another swimmer in the training pool. Beisel initially had a shot to lessen the pain, but that's worn off and she prefers to maintain her feel in the water when she's competing.

So the finger is taped up and she's competing in "excruciating" pain — especially when she puts her hand on the wall.
