00:00How about Cato Ledecky? I preface by saying, getting to the Olympics is probably hard enough,
00:07which means you're one of the best in the country at your sport here. Getting into the
00:11Olympics and advancing through the semifinals and getting to the finals, hard enough. Just
00:15winning a single medal, let it be a bronze, even harder. Cato Ledecky, 13 medals now in
00:21Olympic competition, one of the best to ever do it. And also in the sport of swimming,
00:26which means you are spending hours and hours and hours by yourself in a pool with nobody
00:32around as if you're getting everybody cheering for you. Phenomenal effort by Ledecky, maybe
00:36the best to ever do it here in the pool from the women's side.
00:40And coming off, she just won gold the day before in Olympic time, making record time
00:48in the 1500 meter freestyle. Then she was on the team yesterday that finished second
00:53in the four by 200 meter. We're talking some legendary folks in the Olympics that had
01:01those medals. 12, I believe she was tied with three others or there were three altogether.
01:07And she just set the pace herself. It's unbelievable in a sport where it is always run by the much
01:15younger athletes, always dominated by the much younger athletes. Crazy stuff there.
