"Ready for a big year ahead" - Katie Ledecky gears up for 2024
Katie Ledecky, a swimming icon who is known for her 10 Olympic medals, seven of which were gold, is currently gearing up for the 2024 Olympic Games. She has expressed her anticipation for the new year on her X account, which was formerly known as Twitter.
TYR Sports Inc, which is in a collaboration with USA Swimming, recently featured Ledecky in a social media post to announce the team's preparedness for the Olympic year. This partnership between Team TYR and USA Swimming is more than just a sponsorship. It's a strategic collaboration, with TYR becoming the exclusive outfitter for the USA Swimming national team through the 2024 Olympics.
The post included images of Ledecky clad in a crisp white cover suit adorned with the TYR logo and the USA badge, symbolizing her alignment with the national team and her readiness for the international stage.
"Happy New Year! Team TYR is gearing up for an exciting 2024," TYR captioned the social media post.
Katie Ledecky retweeted the TYR post with this caption:
"😏 Ready for a big year ahead 🎉💪🏼".
This shows Ledecky's eagerness to take on the challenges of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, scheduled to be held from July 26 to August 11. The year 2024 for the USA Swimming team will start with three TYR Pro Swim Series: in Knoxville, Tenn., from Jan. 10–13; in Westmont, Ill., from March 6–9; and in San Antonio, Texas, from April 10–13.
