U.S. Olympic great Katie Ledecky was asked about the Title IX lawsuit involving the NCAA over Lia Thomas' participation in the 2022 championships.
Katie Ledecky will likely be headed to Paris later this summer to compete for a few more gold medals and into the history books for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics. Ledecky is one of the most recognizable female athletes of this generation. She picked up seven gold medals before turning 30.
Outside the pool, Ledecky doesn’t make any waves. She tends to stay out of the political sphere even as Title IX has become a hot-button issue for female athletes in the U.S. Several female athletes sued the NCAA alleging their Title IX rights were violated when the organization allowed transgender woman Lia Thomas to swim in the 2022 championships and change in the women’s locker room. In a profile in The New York Times, Ledecky was asked about Thomas and the Title IX lawsuit.
think we’re lucky to live in a country where issues can be debated, whether it’s that issue or any other issue,' Ledecky told the paper. 'It’s how I feel. I think it’s important to learn perspectives of others and gain an understanding of things and learn more about where everyone comes from.' Ledecky was also asked whether she kept up with political news. 'I don’t want to get into politics,' she told The New York Times.
