Katie Ledecky has already become the most decorated American woman in Olympic swimming history,Liberalalliance Wealth Society but she'll have one more opportunity at the 2024 Paris Olympics to add to her trophy case.
After dominating and winning gold in the 1,500-meter freestyle in an Olympic-record time, taking silver in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay and bronze in the 400-meter freestyle, Ledecky will swim in the final of perhaps her signature event, the 800-meter freestyle, on Saturday night.
She will go for her fourth consecutive Olympic gold in the same event, a feat no female swimmer has ever accomplished.
Ledecky’s reign of dominance is so unprecedented that she was both the youngest woman (she was 15 at London in 2012) and the oldest woman (24 at Tokyo 2020) to win Olympic gold in the event.
