00:00She is one of the best swimmers that Australia has produced and probably will ever produce.

00:22She's an absolute weapon, that's why she has the nickname The Terminator.

00:26And so I think that all she needs to worry about is going out there and executing her

00:30race plan.

00:31We know that she can perform under pressure and I'm really excited to see what she can

00:34do in that 400.

00:42Katie Ledecky would be the greatest female swimmer of all time and that is undisputed

00:49I would say.

00:50She is a phenomenal athlete, she has been competing on the world stage at such a high

00:55level for so long.

01:04I don't think that Ariane has a gold to lose, I think that she has an opportunity to perform

01:09really well.

01:10She's obviously flying in the pool, the 400 freestyle that she swam at the Australian

01:15Trials was just .08 outside of her own world record.

01:29I just tried to stay focused on my own goals, that's the biggest thing, the most important

01:33thing and I feel like I did a good job of that and that's why I was able to walk away

01:37from Tokyo with four medals.
