Viral Video: Gold Medalist Ledecky Makes a Splash Balancing Chocolate Milk While Swimming | WATCH

Katie Ledecky, the 7-time Olympic gold medalist, has amazed the world again with her amazing talent, but not by winning medals. Ledecky was seen balancing a glass full of chocolate milk on her head while swimming. 

She made her Olympic debut at the age of 15 at the 2012 London Olympic Games, where she won a gold medal in the 800-meter freestyle. After that, she participated in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics and won seven gold medals and three silver medals. And in the ongoing Olympics trials, she won her third consecutive event—the longest, i.e., the 1500 freestyle—on Wednesday. 

As if 7 Olympic gold medals were not enough to brag about, Katie posted a video of herself balancing the chocolate milk while swimming. The video is going viral on social media, leaving people in awe of her talent. 

Originally, the video was shared by Katie herself in 2020, in which she is balancing the glass of milk on her head while swimming the whole length of the pool. The viral video shows the Olympic gold medalist swimmer swimming a freestyle lap.

The viral video was shared on X with a caption that says, “This video of Kathleen Ledecky balancing chocolate milk on her head while swimming is more impressive to me than her seven Olympic gold medals.”

Even though she has 7 Olympic gold medals, it was hard to believe that someone could do this. And the comments of the users show that. The video garnered more than 1.5 crore impressions with 1.85 lakh likes. 

User’s reactions to the viral video:

“Just absolutely incredible.”

“What in the world! I have basically failed at life at this point.”

“And she still swims faster than me, without the chocolate milk on my head.”

“Wow !! Just Impressive.”

“I cannot swim the length of that pool without stopping. If I could, I definitely couldn't do it in 50 seconds. This is crazy.”

“She currently holds the top 18 times in the world for the women's 1500m freestyle. Truly in a league of her own.”

“It's often hard to understand how incredible these athletes really are, tests like this put it into perspective.”

Now, Katie Ledecky will be seen at her final Olympic trial event, the 800 freestyle, this Saturday, June 23.
