Olympic champion Michael Phelps and young phenom Katie Ledecky have some history and things in common. Both swimmers absolutely dominated competition this year at the Olympics, totaling 10 medals and eight golds.

The two also met each other back when Phelps was the up-and-coming star and Ledecky was just a kid with a dream.

That meeting was one of the things that inspired Ledecky to compete in swimming and pursue the dream of Olympic gold. Now, Phelps is the one asking for Ledecky's autograph after her destruction in the pool.

It'd be pretty cool if we see Ledecky go on the type of run Phelps did over the course of four Olympic competitions. With six medals to her name already, there's definitely a chance for it.
