Katie Ledecky May Have Finally Met Her Olympic Match in Cookie Monster and Elmo

"This is much harder than the swimming," said Ledecky in a hilarious new video

Katie Ledecky may have wrapped up her time at the 2024 Summer Olympics, but Cookie Monster and Elmo are ready to put her to a new test.

In a video posted on Sesame Street's Instagram and Twitter pages on Thursday, Aug. 8, the swimmer, 27, was tasked with balancing a cookie on her head.

"We here with most decorated female Olympian ever, swimmer Katie Ledecky," Cookie Monster says before Elmo excitedly explains, "We're balancing cookies on our heads."

"Yeah, 'cause we once saw Katie balance chocolate milk on her head, whoa," adds the Cookie Monster, referencing Ledecky's viral August 2020 video in which she swam without spilling a glass of milk positioned on top of her head.

"This is much harder than the swimming," Ledecky says before the cookie falls from her head and breaks into two pieces.

After the Olympian positions it back on her head, she says that her conversation with Cookie Monster and Elmo has been her "favorite" moment of the Games before the cookie hilariously falls again twice.

Before the clip comes to an end, Elmo asks Ledecky what she plans to do next, to which she quips, "Probably eat some cookies."

Sesame Street, whose characters have also recently chatted with Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee and other Olympians, shared the video with the caption, "Harder than swimming!? We don’t believe it! Thanks for balancing cookies with us Ms. Katie Ledecky! #ParisOlympics."
