While Katie Ledecky is a show-stopper herself, one of her fans stole the show during one of her most recent swims. This fan may be small in size, but big in heart. Watch the adorable video of this girl having a total fan-girl moment over spotting her idol.
Katie Ledecky’s Biggest Fan Almost Passes Out
This viral video has to be one of the cutest things on the internet right now. Katie Ledecky notices one of her biggest and youngest fans screaming for her up in the stands. Katie decides to give this little girl a wave, and well we think that may have made her millennia.
You can see her eyes widen in complete shock as she realizes that her idol, Katie Ledecky, noticed her. One of the commentators captures the moment perfectly with his voiceover. He pretends to know the girl’s inner thoughts as he says, “She waved at me. She saw me. I don’t know how to…” We think that seems like an accurate representation of this little girl’s frazzled thoughts.
You can see this little girl turn to someone who is off camera and say, “She waved at me!” The excitement then becomes too much, and she gently falls back into her seat. Eyes rolling backward as she sucks in a big breath. It can be overwhelming to be noticed by your absolute idol.
The Most Decorated Female Swimmer In Olympic History
As the caption on the viral video states, Katie Ledecky is the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic History. The Olympics website says, “With seven Olympic gold medals and 21 World Championship titles, Katie Ledecky is one of the swimming’s all-time greats.”
The website continues to say, “Having sprung to fame by winning 800m freestyle gold at London 2012 as a 15-year-old, the American has gone on to become Olympic champion at every distance from 200m to 1500m.”
With stats like that, we can totally understand this little girl’s fandom. The people in the comments of this viral video sure understand and appreciate Katie and her fans. Some of the most recent comments read:
