Hey it's MySwimPro! Love your vids...

1500 freestyle report: Ledecky finishes, towels off, eats a sandwich, then watches the other competitors finish.

She should have a snack at the midway point.

haha no, they mnow

@@bertorrrr Not in the heat of competition. All you know is where people are immediately adjacent to you (anyone outside of lanes 3 and 5 probably had no idea where she was and didn't care).

10 seconds was the margin for the world record. Her nearest competitor in the pool was about 40 seconds behind her.

@@ikepigott Yeah I tried looking for the other swimmers times but couldn't find them. Thanks. I did find that In another race recently she won swimming 22 seconds slower. Do you know if this is due to the difference swimming 25m vs a full 50m in the larger pools?

@@laurafinkelstein9181 a world record without an asterisk; who peed in your cornflakes this morning?

It would be like a long jumper jumping 35 ft. or a javelin being thrown 115 meters. Ledecki is a great inspiration to girls everywhere.

@@brahmburgers Not true. 35 feet would be about 19% greater than the existing world record for the long jump and accomplished in a single jump (over 16% for the javelin improvement). In this race she set the 1500 short course world record by a little over 1% and her other world records are a little over 2% faster than the person with the world record before her (after multiple incremental improvements). She is the most dominant female swimmer ever and certainly agree she is an inspiration to girls everywhere, but she hasn't done anything remotely close to what you are suggesting.

I'm a gymnastics fan. I had a conversation with someone the other day on the topic of "Was gymnastics more or less interesting when Simone won SIX all-around golds in a row?" We settled on MORE interesting because there were kinda 2 simultaneous competitions -- Simone vs. her past self, and everyone else competing for silver and bronze! I imagine it probably feels similar for fans of women's distance swimmers in this era.

I just swim for exercise, and the most I've gotten in one workout is 1000 yards in roughly 30 minutes. Ledecky went more than 50% farther in half the time. That's hard to even wrap my mind around.

A man

@@wakeuppeople5815 so true🤣

@@wakeuppeople5815 Katie smokes Lia Thomas, she’s the best female by a margin and better than the majority of dudes

Putting to rest again the argument that male bodies can easily out perform female bodies!

@@harryrussell154except the male record is 37 seconds faster…

@@szymon6207 WR 800m short course 7:59,34 (M. Belmonte) Ledecky's 800m split in this race: 8:00,58

@@rockoslong4767hmmm no. The WR is held by Katie Ledecky at 7:57.42. She broke Belmonte’s record in Nov 2022, at these World Cup.

It takes a lot of pain, sacrifice, dedication, and determination. It's not easy.

I'm thinking that most of us couldn't keep up with her even if we had a paddle board and swim fins. Well, I know that I couldn't.

lol. She is such a legend!

...but you do the distance. Well done, you!

I swam this in college… my best was about 15:47.. her record blows me away ❤

She*

You have to do that, why on earth would you think you don't have to

Not surprisingly everybody else does that too.

At least!

Turned off sound 🙉

25m is the established "short course" size. Most elite competition pools are 50m x 25m so that races can be held at either distance.

FINA has world championship meets for short course (25m) and long course (50m). The attention the short course format attracts is growing because it's the format for the pro swimming events,

Short and Long Course Pool makes a lot of difference in the timing especially upon touching the wall and kick, the speed is relatively faster on the avg in the short course especially for distance swimmer 400/800/1500m. Personally, I like to watch the long pool course, its awesome to watch how quick they swim especially in the last 100m and 50m in particular. Katie Ledecky normally swim in the avg 1.55-1.56m/s and 1.63-1.68m/s in the last 50m. It would be an exciting race in Paris Olympic if she can maintain the existing world record in the short course pool (Toronto) or even faster. Hoping she is fit and healthy by then.
