Day 20: Breaking Records

Katie Ledecky: the girl who likes breaking her own records. I sadly was unable to watch the Olympics this year. I love the USA, but my other "home team" is the Netherlands. There wasn't much to be seen from them this year (sad face) as they usually dominate in the pool. I didn't see Katie…
