- Katie Ledecky won her first Olympic gold at age 15, and today has more individual Olympic gold medals than any woman swimmer in history. As she gears up for the Paris Olympics this summer, Ledecky talks with correspondent Elaine Quijano about reexamining the results of the 2021 Tokyo Games after news that Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned substance just months before the competition. She also talks about her preparations for the Paris Games, the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, and beyond.

The GOAT of female swimming. I truly admire her and wish her many more gold medals.
You call him a her one more time...
She is awesome!
@@animalpower7315 Bro is a fking casual
I admire how she seems to keep her love of the water and the everyday training. So amazing. So powerful. So kind.
I’m sure she’s abusing TUE rules to bypass doping regulations, but its within the rules so technically clean.
Her mindset is incredible. She always seems happy and stoked to swim.
Did you say 43 miles every week?!!! That's absolute dedication! Who ever said perfection doesn't exist has never met Katie! 💝
I barely do 40,000m per month.
@@jemm.8277Do better.
Congratulations for all your accomplishments, Ms. Ledecky.
I love her authenticity personality! She’s so amazing and works hard. ❤Go Katie!!
Katie Ledecky is a legend and a GOAT of swimming in the Summer Olympics
I admire Katie Ledecky's training ethic and her accomplishments as a swimmer. Good luck to her in Paris!
Great job Katie! and thanks for bringing that issue up. ACCOUNTABILITY MUST HAPPEN ALL ACCROS THE LEVELS ESPECIALLY AT THE OLYMPICS
Currently - Katie and 2 other female swimmers ( Sarah Sjöström and Kaylee McKeown ) are tied for most World Record times at 4 each.
And - for the fans and the world - they are all ( currently ) "battling it out" for 5 or more because they all have been in contention for the most WR's as recently as 2022 and 2023 - ( they are still breaking world record times - sometime their own ) so I think - and hope there are more to come from these 3 INCREDIBLE athletes. ( Healthy competition makes everyone better and strive for more )
Nah, don't compare 14 individual world records like that.
What?? @@willis.80
The Aussie and US trials are coming up. We'll see how it goes. McKeown might add 1 more WR i bet.
Don't compare men to women.
@@animalpower7315 wtf are you on about? Quit with the disrespect
Katie is gonna be a grandma in the next 50 years and beating everyone in her heat
How do you know she will be a grandma? I do not know that she will even want to be a mother. Last time I checked, you have to be a PARENT before you can be a GRANDPARENT.
Don't bet on it. Old age hits everyone if they live long enough.
Katie Ledecky seems to have a true Olympian spirit. 💯 🔥
One more thing that stands out other than her incredible swimming skills is that happy smile on her face
Katie: a great swimmer, true athlete, class person.
Mr.
She's a very likable person.
She is just getting started.
The Greatest American Swimmer of all time, Katie Ledecky will go to Paris 2024 this Summer at Olympic Games. Good luck to Paris.
6:37 Michael Phelps was 31 at Rio 2016 where he won 5/6 gold medals. Anthony Ervin was 35 when he won one more gold medal than he did in Sydney 2000 16 years prior. There is some longevity without needing to retire in the 20s.
@@jay1373 I mean that’s what you’d think, but if you work hard enough it shouldn’t be impossible to keep up in your 30’s especially when you’re already so far ahead of everyone in the 800/1500
@@jay1373 we’ve seen many old sprinters, we haven’t seen many old distance swimmers, at least to my knowledge. I was saying it’s not impossible to swim distance in your later years at a high level, as for sprinting Nicholas santos from Brazil is a great example, he got a medal at worlds and he was 39 at the time I think
She is my hero!!
He
@@animalpower7315 She's born female short stack.
All of the DMV is rooting for you Katie!!!!!
The Department of Motor Vehicles?
@@trwentKatie is from Washington DC
DMV stands for DC, Maryland and Virginia (Northern)
@@fretzie01 That should be DCMV.
It’s a man. Rockville knows. ;)
Swims 43 miles a week! Phenomenal!
Awesome swimmer who (like Federer in tennis) has become a great ambassador of her sport. Good luck Katie, but then again, not too much luck (!) - that I wish for the Aussies that race her! Should be fun to watch.
Huge respect!
Even without looking on her Wikipedia, I knew Katie Ledecky was born between February 19 and March 20 (pisces). Her birthday is March 17. 🐳🐬🐋
Global icon and inspiration.... Pitching for her many wins ahead ❤
Can any of the other countries take on the US swimming teams this Olympics in 🇫🇷 ? China ? Australia ? Canada ? Brazil ?
She is an awesome sweetheart. Period.
BTW, Katie's net worth: $5 million.
Michael Phelps' net worth: $100 million.
Go figure...
Micheal Phelps is also a more decorated athlete because of his greater accomplishments…
@@BobReginald-g5p I obviously took that into consideration when I wrote my comment. He obviously wasn't decorated 20 times more!
Its a man not a woman.
@@VEGANSAM I understand what you’re trying to imply, but many more people outside of the swimming community know of Michael Phelps, though the same can’t be said of Katy Ledecky. He also swam until he was 31, while Ledecky is still 27. And then there’s the obvious reason that men’s swimming generates more income for sponsors, so they pay more to the swimmers,
5m for any swimmer (man or woman) is a lot. Some Olympians will never even make 1m
Most if not outright doping are at least abusing TUE regulations. No such thing as a completely clean athlete.
Okay this is the first time I've seen her without a swim cap.
For a better and fair sport, I hope Katie will voluntarily reveal to the public whether she has token any prohibited substance with WADA-issued medical imunity. Because we know the US swimming team has many members taking banned substances with various medical imunity, as was reveal by a leaked WADA file back in 2016.
Good luck to you and Team USA, Katie!
OK, what TUE does she have?
Great Interview with Katie. Keep Going is great advice. Few people Every get to walk this Path. And so long as no one Drinks Dodgy Turtle Remedys more Podiums are there for the Taking 🙂👍
Incredible Woman representing our country. 🇺🇸
Best in the game. Love her.
I’d love to see what Katie could do in the 10k open water race.
True
WTF do think happened to all those East German juicemiesters when Germany merged in 1990?
Olympic dilemma: don’t use steroids & you will lose to someone who does!
The drug testing is not keeping up with the advances in cheating, in particular in track and field. These athletes know how to beat the tests, and the best athletes don’t seem to be tested. There are track athletes, in particular sprinters who’s times have dropped an impossible amount in a short amount of time. The US and African nations seems to have the biggest problem
You mean the European nations have the biggest doping scandals. Look at Russia’s international ban in all sports. And weren’t the Soviets, Czechs, East Germans and Bulgarians all systematically doping their champion athletes back in the 1970s before anywhere else?
Not the Asian countries ?🤔
China is leading steroid users in Asia
Huh? Do you have empirical proof for this or just pure speculation on your part?? Sounds like pure cope.
@@seensay2132 Correct, European nations like Italy and Russia do have more doping scandals. The United States follow right behind at fourth place.
It’s interesting that she trains every day. I thought you needed to have regular rest days to improve your performance. Maybe she’s just talking about her training blocks.
ah well about the doping case, the usa has had many of these free doping use passes too, remember the 1988 olympic finals where carl lewis had tested positive earlier that year, yet he was still allowed to compete. its the smaller countries that never get passes like this (like Ben Johnson). so lets just say it all equals out between big countries like China and the USA.
That was in 1988. Can you give an example of a recent case?
Why aren't the BASKETBALL PLAYERS on the USA squad included in the " doping testing"???
Because LeBalco James wouldn't be able to play.
Because then LeBalco James wouldn't be able to play.
She's awesome ❤
how ironic
Odysseus
Jim Thorpe
Major Taylor
Jordon
Gretzky
Louganis
Messi
Ledecky
Biles
Oh, Merckx too
Pretty good list. Pele?
@@ThomasKennedy-pt3tp for best ever, can only go with one, pele v close second
She’s on gear… just not during competitions. They all are. If you don’t partake, you get left behind.
contaminated food.... seriously??? and to the higher olympic chair members should be looking to this to the end
I think trust in these sports is waning. Like we in the US love the Olympics, but in the back of my mind I feel like they’re all doping. Kinda sad because there are definitely tons of clean athletes.
GO GATORS
A GOAT
She went to Stanford. Just saying…
Her international debut was at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Just saying…
I’m not exactly sure what we’re doing. Are we just stating facts about her?
@@cwg73160 I’m saying that she’s smart, too!
Here is a fact. Its a man.
imagine if you just see her at the gym
WADA: We found you doping Chyna.
CHYNA: We no doping. Here is lots of money we like you.
WADA: Nothing to see here folks!
Pompeo ex cia chief : We cheated, we stole and we lied.
Q: from what age you started using performance enhancing drugs?
A: 😮
Q: can you compete without dropping?
A: 😂 😂😂
💕💕💕
Wow so the opposite of me
Doping sports? Coals to Newcastle, I'd have said.
Ledecky is the goat!
There are waaaaay too many swimming events.
Nothing anyone can do about it. I agree but sadly the sport would not be the same without its many unique events. In fact it needs more events but it wont happen because there are already too many which makes sense
The first black man 💀
Coached. Lol.
🐐
I just think it's so funny... what could they possibly have eaten that could be contaminated with a banned substance? Same thing with Russia in figure skating. Just funny to me
It was in the meat at the restaurant/hotel they were staying, other swimmers who didnt eat there didn't have TMZ, meat in many countries contain drugs like TMZ, clenbuterol (banned in animal industry in Europe), just for your info: several US athletes were allowed to use oxycodon and other painkillers due to some ailments.....that was not investigated, do you know how strong oxycodon is? It's an opioid (morphine derivative)
And the levels of TMZ and clenbuterol in the most recent case were 6-50x lower than the banned concentration....
She sure looks pretty muscular and masculine for a female these days
It’s a man baby!
Surely she’s a clean athlete…finishing car lengths ahead of convicted dopers. C’mon folks, get real
The fact she beats confirmed dopers by so much doesn't really prove what you think it does. If her dominant performance is due to doping then why do none of the confirmed dopers come close to her? Either way it proves shes a naturally better athlete.
@@papawheely4137 I don’t disagree that she’s a better athlete. Take Lance Armstrong for example. He finished comfortably ahead of his doped rivals in each of his 7 TDF victories. Just because she’s a better athlete doesn’t make the doping acceptable.
@pkenton6816 Well, it's entirely hypothetical at the moment, so idc.
The Chinese athletes who broke the rules, whether or not it was their fault, should get back the medals they won. That would be the honorable thing to do.
They need to stop the Doaping on the Chinese and Russian swimmers because USA is a clean sport they do drug testing around the clock
Who said the US is clean and tests “around the clock”?? Through be told they don’t test often, expect at testing committees before big competitions, and most of them are certainly not clean
Be careful , when they test our track and field it could get ugly
@@Neptunium-te5hnAmerican and Canadian athletes have said how often all Olympians get tested.
American athletes are tested about just under 4x less than Chinese athletes but are about 6x more likely to pop per WADA.
it sucks that she has to feel that pang of unfairness that everyone who runs on a track against americans will always feel
Why didn't you ask her how she feels about transgenders participating in her sport? That is an obvious question.
CBS you wanted to control the narrative.
Not everyone has transgender people on their mind constantly. If you do, maybe talk to a professional about that?
Yeah! Don’t get caught doping, or you’ll be disqualified in your 3rd place bronze medal behind the two event approved mediocre biological male swimmers.
The medal of freedom has been cheapened now who gets it. This dope swimmer, the actress Michelle Yao, etc.
Rush Limbaugh ... (pathletic) Most all deserve it. . Btw It's easy to jump to conclusions about KL but, shes 6ft tall and hard working. Michelle Yao accomplishments are incredible especially against odds.it appears your sport is trolling. How dull.
"female"
I’m sorry but why do we care about the Olympics?
