2021 US Olympic Trials Press Conferences: Katie Ledecky, Katie Grimes

[@KyleCowan]

Grimes is a polite and humble young woman who we will be seeing for years to come.

[@ASD128London]

For a 15 year old to compete at an Olympics - but not having their family with them - who would be a better person to have on their team who can understand and support them than Ledecky?

[@stephanieg.o.a.t1478]

Grimes is literally gonna be the baby on the team

[@WRRudy]

Katie Ledecky is such a class act. Wise beyond her years. Just a perfect Rep for USA and US Swimming

[@casiecase12]

Agreed. Very articulate and humbled. Love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@noor03314]

She's really a good person.

[@JamieK348]

That was a cute press conference it's great that the younger Katie has someone to look up to and the older Katie is excited for the younger Katie.

[@MinorsW]

7:58 This moment was so wholesome :D Such an amazing team, so I’m sure they will help her out!

[@antoinesimeon728]

Ledecky is so smart and protective of her juniors. At 7:58, her stepping up for Grimes was a class act. She knew the situation they were confronted with was a curved ball, and that Grimes might be stumped by the unfamiliarity of it. And she turned that question about a difficult, painful situation for Grimes into a light-hearted, good natured moment to share with her, and the reporters. Love that girl, Ledecky!

[@danzomg7964]

The vibe in here is so immaculate I can’t ☺️😃

[@MinorsW]

The last olympics Katie Grimes was only 10 years old 😄

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

And she probably would not have qualified if they trials had taken place in 2020. Good for her!

[@elizabethko4471]

crazy to think that Katie Grimes wasn’t even born yet during Phelps and Lochte’s olympic debuts

[@absidyabsidy2727]

Most of them weren’t alive during Phelps’s debut in 2000

[@jackthrone5555]

I must be the only Aussie that wants Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel to win more Gold in Tokyo watching these press conferences have really endeared them to me.

[@casiecase12]

Yeah you're the only one lol

[@youflatscreentube]

What grace and true humility these two young ladies exhibit all the while being absolute stars. Girls, if you want to know how to act when you’re 15 ……and 25, this is it. Pay attention!

[@coughingowloutdoors8579]

Best wishes to both Katies in Tokyo!

[@christopherliston2371]

Really great presser. Wonderful athletes and people.

I’m happy for Grimes

[@alfredocalpito9439]

The 2 Katie are awesome, it’s a real family of swimming having fun swim…

[@bagustjahjono8672]

Ledecky is amazing swimmer,

[@antoinesimeon728]

An even even greater human being..

[@absatwell8163]

I’m not on the Twitter but #🥰the2Katies! I love this woman’s USA swimming team!

[@dlrsnate5100]

It’s crazy how self aware of the history being written Katie G is at 15:33. I think it’s also very crazy. Womens swimming is so niche,, but they make me so proud to be a swimmer in USA. Records are being broken and stories are being written here in the niche world of contemporary swimming I’m so happy I found my favorite sport!!!!

[@josuedavid1089]

Katie grimes is the future

[@roberthudson1959]

The problem for female distance freestylers is that Ledecky is only 24. She could still be competing in 2028.

[@BM-pl2kj]

Legend

Let’s goooooooooo

For katie 200 and 400 will never be the same as fast she can, ariane titmus of australia will take over now, the records show

Katy's speaking voice is like nails across a blackboard. She did a long interview earlier, was like being waterboarded

[@ninasimone1207]

Interesting facial features

[@emma-pv9pe]

someone’s jealous 🙏🏻🙏🏻 shes 100x more talented than you’ll ever be

[@ninasimone1207]

@@emma-pv9pe she can swim... maybe dolphin forehead helps her

[@antoinesimeon728]

@@ninasimone1207 That forehead is what Stanford-worthy, psychology major graduate material is made off. I'd have that any day, over any other pretty, petty, mediocre "forehead" in a beat. That is, if you're not ready aware..😉
