Katie Ledecky won four gold medals and Sisters Sex Scandalset two world records in Rio this summer, but all she wanted was to be a college kid.
The Stanford University freshman passed up millions in potential endorsement deals by choosing not to go pro, instead honoring her commitment to Stanford. Ledecky wanted the college experience — going to class, swimming with her friends, etc.
But as Ledecky found out on Saturday, if you're an Olympic gold medalist swimming at the college level, part of that experience involves absolutely demolishing the competition.
Ledecky was so dominant in the 1,000-yard freestyle at Stanford's win over Texas that she finished a full 35 seconds before any one else. Jump to 10:20 in the video below to watch Ledecky finish, then just kind of sit around, twiddling her thumbs as she waits for everyone else to finish.
Her 9:10.49 finish set a new NCAA record, smashing the old mark by more than 20 seconds.
Money aside, NCAA swimming might offer some dull moments for Ledecky. Athletes want to be challenged, pushed to be faster and stronger. Ledecky is only three meets into her collegiate career, but those 35 seconds of waiting are probably an indication of what's to come. She's competing against Division I athletes, sure, but most of them aren't world-record holding gold medalists.
Domination is inevitable.
But apparently 35 seconds wasn't long enough to count the dollars she could be making, or imagine the fierce professional competition she's missing out on.
All for the college experience.
