Katie Ledecky has six Olympic medals, and she won five in Rio. It turns out you don’t just sling all of the medals around your neck when it’s time to wear them at once. There’s an art to the method of putting on the medals, and no one knows that better than Michael Phelps. With a total of 28 medals, he can teach Ledecky as no one else can.
Ledecky, Phelps and Simone Biles are on the cover of Sports Illustrated with their many, many medals.
