Yes please for the question whether to translate to English 🫶🏻 Loving this video series. Can‘t wait for the olympics now 🎉 Thanks for these Bro! ❤

Katie is really good at saving energy until the end.

Her natural buoyancy must be through the roof. There has to be a genetic advantage. Normal people can't get to an Olympic level. I don't believe someone without talent could even get to the point of doing those workouts.

"...Ledecky is not the tallest swimmer..." Ok, but she's still SIX FEET TALL! Lol. One of the two others you mentioned was only one inch taller than her... The average height for women from her county is 5'4... WTF are you talking about?

I will go through your content, or similar to find more about sportmanship mentality and overall mind preparation. My son (12yo) competing for a while achived some success and now his teammates are pushing hard to catch him, so he is quite struggling to stay in calm mood 🙂, if he lose to some other club swimmers, it is not such a emotional reaction, I am trying to generalize it, but it will take time, I guess.

Would love to learn about the diet and food for better sports performance and body condition

Yeah, translate it

I love Katie from Japan❤ Third lol😂

I can do that Workout 1.. But would be struggling in the 1100s'

Does all milk work like chocolate milk?

Ripping the 3 1100s on 13:00 is nuts. Even more so that she went 10:40 on the last one

Where’s the ledecky workouts!

Please translate it !! :)

Isn't Popovici studying philosophy as a major?

Yyes

I thought he gonna say "if you want to learn swim faster, please learn Spanish." :P

Not the tallest bro she’s 6 feet tf

2nd lol

first lol
