奥运新女王加冕!莱德基追平60年传奇,美国泳坛再添传奇

在 2024 年巴黎奥运会的游泳赛场上，美国名将凯蒂·莱德基（Katie Ledecky）再次展现出了她的超强实力，勇夺两枚奖牌，震撼世界！她不仅成功卫冕 800 米自由泳桂冠，实现了四连冠，还在 1500 米自由泳项目中夺冠，将自己的奥运奖牌数提升至 9 枚，追平了苏联传奇体操运动员拉里萨·拉特尼娜（Larisa Latynina）保持了 60 年的奥运纪录，成为奥运历史上第二位获得 9 枚奖牌的女性运动员。

★奥运奖牌得主、世界桂冠、有史以来出色的游泳运动员之一凯蒂-莱德基（Katie Ledecky）的一本坦诚而鼓舞人心的回忆录：凯蒂-莱德基。凯蒂-莱德基在奥运会个人比赛中的夺冠次数超过了历史上任何一位女游泳运动员。她是三届奥运会桂冠、七枚奖牌得主、二十一次世界桂冠、八次 NCAA 桂冠以及个人游泳项目世界纪录保持者。

人们一次又一次地向她的家人、教练和她提出这样的问题：是什么让她成为冠军？现在，她分享了在精英水平上竞争的秘诀。莱德基一次又一次地打破了记录：别人的记录，以及越来越多她自己的记录。她既坚持不懈，又勇于创新--坚持不懈地设定目标并打破它们，勇于创新地进行训练。

作为一名真正的竞争者，她在设定目标时会选择那些感觉可怕的目标。但重要的是，她从不牺牲竞争的乐趣，即使是在逆境中。她积极的精神面貌和强大的支持系统为她的成功提供了跳板。

Just Add Water》记录了莱德基的游泳生涯。书中详细描述了她在马里兰州贝塞斯达的起步，在那里她与鲨鱼和小鱼嬉戏，并发现了泳池的乐趣；她在 15 岁时就参加了奥运会，作为美国队年轻的成员，她赢得了奖牌，令所有人都为之震惊；她在斯坦福大学兼顾比赛和学业的时光；她是如何培养出桂冠心态，让她即使在巨大的压力下也能坚持参加这么多比赛；以及她是如何在这项成功取决于毫秒的运动中保持优势的。您将了解到她生活中的每一个元素--从家人的支持到教练的教导，从童年的夏季游泳联赛到伦敦、里约和东京奥运会泳池的璀璨灯光--是如何造就她成为桂冠的。

归根结底，凯蒂的故事讲述的是如何在困难面前考验自己，并看到自己的另一面。

A candid and inspiring memoir from Olympic gold medalist, world champion, and one of the best swimmers ever to compete: Katie Ledecky. Katie Ledecky has won more individual Olympic races than any female swimmer in history. She is a three-time Olympian, a seven-time gold medalist, a twenty-one-time world champion, eight-time NCAA Champion, and a world record-holder in individual swimming events.

Time and again, the question is posed to her family, her coaches, and to her—what makes her a champion? Now, for the first time, she shares what it takes to compete at an elite level. Again and again, Ledecky has broken records: those of others and, increasingly, her own. She is both consistent and innovative—consistent at setting goals and shattering them, and innovative in the way she approaches her training.

A true competitor, she sets her goals by choosing the ones that feel the scariest. But, crucially, she never sacrifices the joy of competition, even in the face of adversity. Her positive mental outlook and a great support system provides the springboard to her success.

Just Add Water charts Ledecky’s life in swimming. It details her start in Bethesda, Maryland, where she played sharks and minnows and first discovered the joy of the pool; her early foray into the Olympics at the tender age of fifteen where, as the youngest member of the American team, she stunned everyone by winning her first gold medal; her time balancing competition and her education at Stanford University; how she developed a champion’s mindset that has allowed her to persevere through so many meets, even under intense pressure; and how she has maintained her dominance in a sport where success depends on milliseconds. You learn how every element of her life—from the support of her family to the tutelage of her coaches, from her childhood spent in summer league swimming to the bright lights of Olympic pools in London, Rio, and Tokyo—set her up to become the champion she is.

In the end, Katie’s story is about testing yourself against the difficult, and seeing who you become on the other side.
