Olympic champion Katie Ledecky talked to Fox News Digital about what it means to her to be representing the United States on the global stage.
Katie Ledecky has worn the Stars and Stripes for Team USA in each Olympic Games since 2012, when she debuted for the women’s swimming squad in London. Since then, Ledecky has won seven gold medals, including four at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and two at the Tokyo Games in 2021. She also has three silver medals in her tally.
Ledecky told Fox News Digital it was a 'true honor' to represent the U.S. on the global stage. 'Something I don’t take for granted is getting that opportunity, and I’m excited to hopefully have the chance in a couple of months,' she said. 'We have our Olympic trials in June first, so I have to get through that. Swimming in the United States is super competitive, so even just qualifying for a U.S. team is a huge honor.
Ledecky is considered to be the greatest swimmer in the world, but she will definitely have competition from Australia’s Ariarne Titmus and Canada’s Summer McIntosh. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
