This text is for questions 1 to 5.

Katie Ledecky

Katie Ledecky is an American swimmer. She has won seven Olympic gold medals and 21 World Championship gold medals, the most in history for a female swimmer. Katie Ledecky is a different swimmer. She is a freestyle specialist. She has spent of her life trying to perfect that stroke.

While many distance swimmers aim to pop out early to begin their freestyle stroke, Ledecky is often building her initial lead below the surface, remaining underwater for 9-10 meters while carrying the momentum of her dive into an aggressive underwater dolphin kick. She blasts it out so quickly and takes everyone else out of their race plan. She's like the Tasmanian Devil. It's demoralizing in a lot of ways for everyone else in the pool.

Other swimmers might swivel their heads from side to side, breathing throughout a race, but Ledecky is much more efficient. Using that unbalanced gallop stroke, in which her left arm movement is shorter and quicker, Ledecky moves her head to only one side.
