Extended interview: Katie Ledecky on 2024 Olympics performance, closing ceremony honor and more

CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas sits down with swimmer Katie Ledecky - a four-time Olympian and 14-time medalist - in Paris to discuss her impressive performance at the 2024 Games, the honor of carrying the American flag at the Olympics closing ceremonies and more.

Her best interview that I’ve seen so far for Katie during the Paris Olympics. The others seem so short but this one they spent more time with her and she was able to show how appreciative she was of the Olympics and sports in general.

She’s such a normal, humble, non celebrity acting Olympian doing extraordinary things.

Very smart, humble and hard working young woman. She'd be a gold medalist in any walk of life she chooses. Hope to see her in four years.

Katie Ledecky you are awesome 👏🥇🥇🥇🥇🐐 I love listening everytime you said “It’s an honor to represent my country” 🇺🇸 You’re the best!

A lovely and thoughtful woman! It was a joy to listen to her. I'm sure she will inspire many young athletes with her new book.

Great extended interview. One race at a time, one training session at a time... just stay focused.

Legend! And still going. And soooo nice. After her 400m medal ceremonyi in Paris, she came and high fived🖐️ us… not all others did

I would love it if all Olympians auctioned their medals off for a good cause like a hospital. After all they got the glory, the photos. The fame, the records so the medals are just a symbol. Such a gesture to help the less fortunate would be wonderful.
