#2 Katie Ledecky could surpass Phelps’ medal tally 20 years from now
Trending
Teenage swimming sensation, Katie Ledecky, is already creating history in the women’s swimming circuit. She is the current world-record holder in the women’s 400, 800, and 1500-meter freestyle at the age of 19, and a five-time Olympic gold medallist.
She is touted to be the “next big thing” when it comes to the sport of swimming. Having already created and held world records at such a young age, she is backed to do wonders in the pool.
At this rate, she could surpass Phelps 20 years from now, when she is 39-years old. While this is extremely unlikely, it does go to show how Phelps has set the benchmark high for his competitors and budding young prospects.
