This is Katie Ledecky's world right **w, and the rest of us are just living in it. Want proof? Ledecky transformed MLB MVP Bryce Harper into a butler on Wednesday night, making him stand to the side and hold her hoard of medals (http://mashable.com/2016/08/25/katie-ledecky-made-bryce-harper-hold-gold-medals/) from Rio while she threw out the first pitch before a Washington Nationals game.*
Ledecky is just 19 years old, but the swimmer is **w an Olympics hero after winning four gold medals and setting two world records in Rio. The contrast between Ledecky's tender age and her outsized athletic accomplishments creates a dilemma: Go to college or go pro? *
