It's funny how the announcer says Katie also came in 9th in the 200 free, since she did only qualify for the B-final, yet in the end she had the fastest time out of everyone including the ones in the A-final with another meet record.
It once happened in a men’s freestyle event at the olympics. Someone won the B final with a faster time than the gold medalist in the A final. I can’t remember who it was though.
I was lucky enough to meet Katie for about 10 seconds when she visited the Nationals in (I think) 2018. For whatever reason, what stood out to me is that she is SO tall. I am 6'0" and she was as tall, maybe taller, than I am.
My coaches would kill me if I swam a mile like that. Breathing almost every other stroke and barely kicking... Katie is a mutant, and I say that in a good way
guitta Dabe The first thing I do with misleading titles is read the comments to verify if it's clickbait. Thank you for letting me know so I don't waste my time watching it.
This distance gap to second place is almost the size of the distance gap between first and second place the women's mile run when Faith Kipyegon obliterated the world record by 4.7 seconds! (she won by 7 seconds/about 50 meters)
❤ its absurd :) superhuman :) and to think i was proud of myself for accomplishing my first 150 continuous yrds in a 25yd pool today, after previously only managing 100 at a time with little breaks in between, and at a ridiculous fraction of the sort of stroke pace she is at. so hilarious : ) it would be fun to swim next to katie for a length or two, just to see how much i would need to sprint to even try to match her pace. after watching her recent races with average 1 minute 100 meter pace times, my puny lil exhaustion sprint 38 second 50 yrds would be toasted in the first 20 meters :) still though, the first meters i would at least get to look over while breathing and seeing her relentless arm strokes before leaving me in her wake, and for a couple seconds, i would get to feel like i am matching the champ :)
Katie Ledecky: *dives in*
Everyone: *racing for 2nd place*
She even had the fastest reaction time...
Lol yeah can’t wait for Tokyo
@@h.hikatoshohe5043 same!!!
Lol, the announcers actually said that after one lap of the 800m at the Rio Olympics.
She could be driving home before the next person finished
Her 800 split would have easily won the 800 final, and her 400 split would have almost that race as well (if she were not in them). GOAT

She will get credit for the meet record but still the 9th place because of the locked finals placement.
@@theangryegg8458 Yes, I know that. Thanks.
Wow. Didn’t know that. Pretty impressive

lol - that happened to me in high school. sucks!

Sees the title: "gee I wonder who won"
Until spoiler titles attract fewer eyeballs than non-spoiler titles, we will keep getting spoiler titles.
It's a 1500 m with Katie Ledecky, what did you expect...
Who won the second place? 😂
It must be so humiliating to race Ledecky at this distance. It looks like the second place finisher was a full 50 meters behind!
at the end she lapped last place which is really impressive
@Mary Antonio i never said that, at all, i said that its impressive as hell that she was able to LAP last place usually the races are pretty close
Humiliating??! OMG!
It's an honour to compete with such a legend!
Nearly one minute per 100 meters!?! Girl on fire!!!
Around 1:02.3 per 100. In the middle of training, so she's on target for next summer.
@@MrVpassenheim 15sec per 25m
LMAO. Imagine seeing her on the way to a win and you still have all this way to go.

What an amazing swimmer she is! Fun to watch her power through it all! Congratulations Katie!!!
Me watching this when I have the mile in like 3 hours
Is that Sean Paul playing in the background?
just admire a casual but powerful stroke! stamina and threshold have to be really top notch! full respect and admiration!
She barely even kicks that’s crazy.
My coaches would kill me if I swam a mile like that. Breathing almost every other stroke and barely kicking... Katie is a mutant, and I say that in a good way
@@royaljones6838 What do you mean? Breathing every other stroke is normal for distance swimming. So is 2 beat kicking.
So fitting that 2pac is blasting in the background while Ledecky represents.
2:26 look at her kick
I'm convinced she's part fish
Bait and switch title. It should have mentioned this was a meet record, not world record. Thank you for uploading.
guitta Dabe All that was stated was that is was a 31 year old record, not a world record nor meet record.
guitta Dabe The first thing I do with misleading titles is read the comments to verify if it's clickbait. Thank you for letting me know so I don't waste my time watching it.
She broke the world record 6 years ago.
Michael Odogwu - My title says 31 year old MEET record.
They have since changed the title of the video.
when katy races it becomes hard to film: shot of katy; shot of the others!
Fast as in Katie is fast snd the rest of the field is there
Katie Ledecky is AWESOME!!
Swimming for long enough can make your arms and legs hurt like *hell*
i have such a huge crush on ledecky like jesus
Truly unbelievable.
This distance gap to second place is almost the size of the distance gap between first and second place the women's mile run when Faith Kipyegon obliterated the world record by 4.7 seconds! (she won by 7 seconds/about 50 meters)
Technique, length and endurance.
2beat kick superb❤
Lmao I heard 2 pac in the background
Are her mechanics that much better than everyone else's?
Holy shit, she basically lapped the girl in last place. That's crazy.
Two laps!
15sec per 25m or 30sec per 50m what a great time
❤ its absurd :) superhuman :) and to think i was proud of myself for accomplishing my first 150 continuous yrds in a 25yd pool today, after previously only managing 100 at a time with little breaks in between, and at a ridiculous fraction of the sort of stroke pace she is at. so hilarious : ) it would be fun to swim next to katie for a length or two, just to see how much i would need to sprint to even try to match her pace. after watching her recent races with average 1 minute 100 meter pace times, my puny lil exhaustion sprint 38 second 50 yrds would be toasted in the first 20 meters :) still though, the first meters i would at least get to look over while breathing and seeing her relentless arm strokes before leaving me in her wake, and for a couple seconds, i would get to feel like i am matching the champ :)
A Queen
LEGEND👏👏👏
Yea for you Katie, yea for you.
Breathing every stroke, right side only. One kick per stroke.
No, she breathes every other stroke. And her kicks change during the race.
Amazing!
A real ALIEN.........Mermaid.
That event is not for the timid.
K.Ledecky amazing 2bk... 👍👍
Wow, wow, wow!
Uhm, she didn’t even scratch the world record, what’s the fuss about ?
OMG!
did she lap that other girl
Extremely close!
She lapped 2 girls lol, you can hear a bell ring way after she finishes
Like I know that the rest of the people are also REALLY fast, but compared to her they look juvenile
She’s not “bad”
Classic bullshit click bait title
JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS
🙄
first
But here's the thing...y'all must remember... *THERE WILL BE AN ASIAN THAT WILL SURPASSED HER*
Shut the fuck up. These jokes aren't funny and have never been.
No she’s the best no one can beat her now be quite
The announcer never seems to acknowledge that the records and top swims in the 1500 are all set by men.
Hey clown why don’t you go whine somewhere else. Ledecky is a legend! Deal with it bum!
You mean men like Janet Evans? 😂
Nikki Huggins stupid ass nigga he’s not whining he’s just saying that Ledecky is so good that she is breaking men’s records u fucking clown.
Let me pile on to the comments here, because clearly I can't tell when a joke is being made. Argh!!!!
Why does she kick strange??? Hmmmm
Watching this swimming up and down for 15 mins boring
ledecky’s tempo said 🚀🚀🚀
Watching this swimming up and down for 15 mins boring
APBC Technique and UK Osteopathy swimming it is even more boring 🤣
