    Go Katie! How adorable was the little girl?! I hope they get to meet!
  • I just love how Katie Ledecky said “we’ll make it happen.” I hope we can see the meet-up. Also, the recreation of the Katie/Michael Jordan moment is the video we all need right now. That would be amazing.

    Aww, such a simple human. Just doing the work and showing up when it counts. I feel like she endures these interviews cause it's part of the job of being great.
