    Ledecky is a legendary swimmer. I don’t even follow swimming, but I know Ledecky’s name and dominance.
  • @KFA8piece
    Yes Ledecky is a legend but can we talk about 16 year old Bella who extended the lead she got over other much more experienced powerhouses? Watch out for her come the Paris games cause the girl is going to be a force to be reckoned with as well.
  • Katie is a straight savage. She hawked then blew by them like they were in slow motion. Kudos to the coach for a brilliant line up strategy.
  • Gotta love Katie. That 16yr old Bella, the 4th leg kept that lead. She is gonna be one to watch
  • @phil5037
    Katie and Bella's stroke rate was intense. They looked like they were doing a 100.
  • @rae0993
    This is the second time in a row where the US were counted out of the 4x200 before the race even begun. At Tokyo the Aussies were also the favorites there as well. Some thought the US wouldn't even medal there. I will never understand underestimating a team with Ledecky on it. At all. She will guide your team to a win. Or die trying.
  • @dub2459
    Her pace was pretty insane, you could see the others getting tired but she never slowed down…way to go champ
  • @philmccraken
    The whole team was amazing! I’m happy Bella is getting her props. She had to keep that lead Katie fought for and she extended it!
  • @AHC63
    Bella Sims swam magnificently - of course, Katie Ledecky was a key piece of the puzzle, but everyone did their part.
  • @asermpoyi4357
    Katie is incredible. May cry when she stops swimming.
  • @BGALUM
    Great to see a mix of veterans and young swimmers coming out with the win. That's good for the future of the sport in America. Great job ladies!
  • @jim242
    Ledecky is one of the best ever but that anchor leg by 16 year old Bella just blew me away no fear
  • @PhongLe-ji7bt
    Congratulations team USA. Ledecky is a legendary swimmer
  • “Australia has to be the favorite” “Canada really has a chance” United States smokes 💨 them all 😂
  • I cannot wait to see Bella race more events. I was a swimmer for 15 years. Fantastic race!!!!
  • @scottbloom7660
    Beginning of race: “Why would the US put the a rookie to start and a rookie to finish?” End of Race: “Don’t you think their team was perfectly organized?”
  • @Ghosted52210
    Ledecky really gave Bella a really good position out there and Bella was swimming like she was wanting a record and yet they got it, ledecky really caught up to them and she showed the others what she had in her,they are all absolutely amazing.
  • @wthleo
    i used to swim competitively (for 7 years) but i don’t follow swimming or any other olympic sport. but seeing these swimmer’s splits… they’re just crazy, makes me want to start swimming again, or at least watch the olympics
