(The segment incorrectly states that Ledecky \u201cwon every single race in the freestyle category\u201d in Russia.)<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s footage of Ledecky as a 6-year-old in a freestyle race in the segment, and though she doesn\u2019t appear to be in line to win <i>that<\/i> race, she was all smiles afterward. <\/p>\n<p>In keeping with the segment\u2019s theme, coach <strong>Bruce Gemmell<\/strong> says the way Ledecky pushes her limits is through training mostly with male swimmers. She beats them regularly, Gemmell says.<\/p>\n<p>The segment goes on to comment that Ledecky could win seven medals at the Rio Olympics, which would require her to swim on all three relays and broaden her horizons into the true sprint events. Ledecky hasn\u2019t ruled out swimming the 100 freestyle at the Olympic Trials for a chance to be on the 400 free relay, which would help her chances for a record medal haul.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Donnell also challenged Ledecky to a 25-yard race in which Ledecky could only swim underwater while O\u2019Donnell swam freestyle.
