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.

  • Michael Phelps believes Katie Ledecky is going to become the next start of US Swimming.
  • After training with Ledecky and competing with her for years, Phelps said what stands out about her most is how goal-oriented she is.
  • Heading into Tokyo 2020, with several events on her schedule, Phelps believes Ledecky could win seven or eight medals.

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.
