在这篇题为“Katie Ledecky beats Rebecca Adlington into bronze in Olympic final”文章里，说的主要是些英国好手、北京奥运冠军Rebecca Adlington，全年成绩都很好的她深受英国人民夺金深厚寄托的负担，心里受干扰，-（谁说只有中国运动员不堪重压）-，最后游不过美国15岁小将但仍夺铜牌。文章结论，这是届少年天才的时代。
其中有一段这麽说：
Adlington was not just beaten by Ledecky, she was blown away by her. The American led from start to finish, opening up a lead in the first 100m that Adlington, like everyone else here, kept expecting to shrink. It never did. Ledecky won in 8min 14.53sec. Swimming is becoming a young woman's game – Ledecky is the second 15-year-old to win a gold medal at these Games, after Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte. Ye Shiwen, who has won two golds, is 16. And Missy Franklin, who has won three, is only a year older. Ledecky, like Ye, knocked more than five seconds off her personal best. Chinese fans will wonder whether she will be subject to the same insinuations and accusations.

留言里主要是表扬Aldlington的，但也有对比小叶子和美国这个15岁金牌得主的：

I wonder if the American coach will question the sudden arrival of this particular teenage phenomenon?
I wonder if John Leonard, executive director of the USA Swimming Coaches Association, thinks that 15 year-old Katie Ledecky's victory is “disturbing” and “suspicious"?
