She’s swum the length of a pool with a glass of milk on her head, what have you ever done?

Olympic champion swimmer Katie Ledecky went viral on Twitter after swimming the length of a swimming pool while perfectly balancing a glass of chocolate milk on her head.

In what appeared to be an ad for a Tik Tok challenge, the 23-year-old tweeted a video of her successful attempt at the ‘Got Milk’ challenge. (Can you tell I have never used Tik Tok?)

She described the feat as “Possibly one of the best swims of my career!”

It’s an absolutely captivating watch. You keep thinking eventually the glass will fall. But guess what? It never does. Quite remarkable.

The challenge has caught on since her post with the New York Islanders Ice Hockey club account posting a video of their mascot, Sparky, gliding around the ice with a glass of milk on the head of his costume – also pretty impressive.
