Katie Ledecky is weighing in on a pool cardinal rule … making it clear she’s a pretty serious rule follower — even when nature calls.
The Olympic swimmer sat down with comedian Leslie Jones for a chat at the 2024 Summer Olympics … where she was asked point-blank if she’s ever peed in the pool. KL was insistent that she does not pee when in the water … though, she couldn’t speak on behalf of her fellow swimmers.
As the gold medalist put it … “I try not to think about this.”
We don’t blame Katie for not wanting to dwell on this topic … as it is both gross and troubling — since KL spends almost all day in the pool when training.
Katie’s swimming career started back when she was just a kid, when she joined a summer league at the age of 6. As Katie told Leslie … the Olympics in Athens left an impact on her, as she thought the competitors looked just like superheroes.
However, despite having 8 Olympic gold medals under her belt, Katie admitted she doesn’t view herself as a superhero now. Though, Leslie put it best when she quipped … “That’s okay, superheroes never do.”
Katie has already made a splash at the Olympics in Paris, where she has taken home a bronze medal in the Women’s 400-meter Freestyle and a gold medal in the Women’s 1,500-meter Freestyle.
In total, Katie has brought home 12 Olympic medals over the course of 4 Summer Games … which has her tied with Jenny Thompson, Dara Torres and Natalie Coughlin as the most decorated U.S. female Olympian.
Though, she has 2 more events to come at the Summer Games … with her next meet happening Thursday. So, stay tuned … as she’s sure to make history soon!!!
