American swimming superstar Katie Ledecky has been staying focused during the global coronavirus crisis and does not intend to let any minutes go to waste, as she says thinking about the Tokyo Olympics next year gives her "goosebumps."

"I hope and I pray that we have that opportunity because of the hard work that everyone has done," the five-time Olympic gold medalist said in a recent video interview, referring to her third Summer Games, which were originally set to open Friday in the capital before the pandemic swept the world.

Currently, the 23-year-old only steps out of her apartment when she trains at the Stanford University pool in California and has not competed since early March.
