Katie Ledecky went out under world record pace in the opening 100, but ended up having to “settle” for “only” a 4:01.95. That’s still the second-fastest time in the world this year, with Ledecky’s swim at the Austin Pro Series in January still standing as the fastest. NBAC teammates Lotte Friis and Allison Schmidt placed second and third, finishing 4:10.34 and 4:13.21, respectively. Hosszu, swimming her third event of the night in under 80 minutes, placed sixth with a 4:17.45.
Really I don’t see how you can compare them. They are both fantastic women – seems like in and out of the pool. Anyone would be proud to have them as a daughter/friend/colleague.
Translation: people can be equal to but never greater than Missy.
She’s my favorite interview of the Olympians.
I love how she is always very modest and answers every question with definite honesty and even a certain amount of amateurism. Never comes off as being fake or purposely trying to please anyone. I definitely prefer it to Missy’s nonstop super duper happiness which just comes off as fake. Bring on the hate, I don’t care, it’s just my opinion.
I defenetly prefer Katie than Missy for intervieuws too . Feels much more like a genuine layed back fierce swimmer and she talks so naturally – no hush hush or ” happiness bubble ” to stand upon . She loves what she lives .
What?!?! Blasphemy.
On a serious note:
“Missy’s nonstop super duper happiness which just comes off as fake.”
