Fans are raving over a resurfaced video of a young Katie Ledecky playing peekaboo with NBA legend Michael Jordan.

After bagging her ninth Olympic gold medal in Paris on Saturday, fans revisited the clip of Jordan being playful with a young Ledecky in what appears to be a luxury box at an event.

While sitting behind the swimmer, Jordan puts his hands in front of Ledecky's face and pulls away. However, the Stanford product's younger self was unfazed by Jordan's antics and continued to eat her snacks.


Later in the clip, Ledecky finally cracked - flashing a smile and looking at the person beside her. Jordan then gives her a quick tickle before letting Ledecky enjoy her popcorn in peace.

Ledecky shared the clip on X in April 2020 - when Jordan's The Last Dance docuseries was sweeping the nation during the pandemic.
