Michael Phelps & Katie Ledecky Recreated Famous Autograph Photo from 10 Years Ago
Michael Phelps strikes a pose and talks to reporters while walking the red carpet at the Omega House on Monday (August 15) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
On Saturday, the 31-year-old swimmer won his record-breaking 23rd Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.
Michael and Katie Ledecky, 19 – who has won several gold medals and broken world records during this summer’s Olympics – recently recreated a photo they took 10 years ago.
In the 2006 photo, nine-year-old Katie smiled after getting an autograph from 21-year-old Michael, and in the 2016 photo, Michael was the one grinning as he got an autograph from Katie.
