Bobby Finke has Paris on the brain, but his heart will always be in Tampa Bay.

State of splash: Before he became a star Olympian, Finke grew up in Clearwater, swimming for St. Petersburg Aquatics.

    • He's primed to defend his two gold medals after finishing first in the men's 800-meter freestyle at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials last week.

We asked the 24-year-old what his best day ever would look like:

🍳 Breakfast: Wake up the family and his girlfriend to head to Metro Diner in St. Pete for The Bissell Breakfast (two eggs, bacon, toast, hashbrowns or grits, and a short stack of pancakes).

🎢 Morning activity: Hitting the rides at Busch Gardens. "If it's the best day, there would be no lines and we would ride the rollercoasters for hours."

🌭 Lunch: Hot dogs at the theme park.

📺 Afternoon: Laying in bed, watching "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

🍔 🏇 Dinner: Making burgers while watching a big Triple Crown race.

🍕🎞️ Nightcap: Sneaking Papa John's pizza into a movie theater to catch a new flick.
