Katie Ledecky Report Abuse
American swimmer, born in 1997 was fifteen years old when she won Olympic gold in the 800m freestyle in 2012. She has gone from strength to strength including 4 individual gold medals plus a relay gold for the United States at the recent World Swimming Championships in Kazan, Russia. I think she could go on and emulate the great Michael Phelps as a legendary swimmer as she is now, the equivalent of Usain Bolt or the Frankel of horse racing. Dominant.
