Go Missy!
Go Katie!
USA is very lucky to have these 2 girls in its team.
Amazingly talented. Smart. Humble.
Great role models for the kids.
Except Missy about Bieber! 😆
Even if it looks like she starts to change a little her view on the Canadian “singer”. It’s never too late Missy! 😉
totally agree with u BOBO ! These girls makes the whole team shine forth overall ! great atmosphere , great racing , appreciation and fun !
I like listening to Mr Gemmell.
Katie has really the best distance coach in USA and one of the best in the entire world.
Hopefully she will train with him until Rio before going to Stanford.
It looks like it’s the likely scenario.
It was already in the news few months ago that Ledecky will defer her admission at Stanford until after Rio.
What a kind spirit is Missy!
To my journalism colleagues: Please don’t open a press conference by asking the athlete about their impressions of ANOTHER athlete. Makes us look like a**holes.
the great thing is : Missy admires Katie and i beleive vice versa as well ! great young women ; Us embassadors of what’s possible without being against each other ! Great spirited girls ! love that
The same douchebag came back and asked a second question involving Missy Franklin minutes later, after he opened the press conference asking about her opinion on Missy Franklin. Seriously… Get a clue or get a new job.
Just watched Ms. Ledecky and Coach Gemmell’s talk. Fascinating to hear Gemmell talk about how he can “hear” the distance swimmers hand and foot entry, and know whether he/she is swimming at the proper pace.
these two girls amaze me!
So well spoken and mature. Their parents raised them well!
Can’t wait to see them do amazing things this week!
