Michael Phelps says Katie Ledecky has a quality he rarely sees in swimmers
Michael Phelps said that when Katie Ledecky creates a goal for herself, she'll do whatever it takes to accomplish it.
At Rio 2016, Katie Ledecky established herself as a breakout star, setting herself up to become the face of US Swimming.
Ledecky not only won five medals, four of them gold, she often did so in convincing fashion, setting world records and celebrating while other swimmers finished the race.
Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history and the face of US Swimming since 2004, has seen Ledecky train and compete for years and said she is in a class of her own.
