Katie Ledecky broke another record on Thursday after Team USA won a silver medal in the women’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay.
The 27-year-old is now the most decorated woman in Olympic swimming history with 13 medals. This latest win broke her tie with swimmers Natalie Coughlin, Jenny Thompson, and Dara Torres.
The Maryland native won her eighth gold and 12th overall medal on Wednesday in the 1500m freestyle. She finished the race in record time – 15:30.02 – tying Thompson for the most gold medals by any female swimmer in Olympic history.
While swimming, Ledecky told reporters she let her mind wander and thought about everyone who helped her get to where she is today.
“And I kind of let my mind wander during the race, thinking of all the people that have trained with me. Was kind of like saying their names in my head and thinking about them. To my Florida crew, all those Florida boys that pushed me every day, I love you guys. I mean, I know I make your life hard a lot of days, but you guys made my life a lot easier today, so thank you so much.”
On Thursday, 27-year-old swimmer Katie Ledecky had another chance to add to her medal count.
Team USA, made up of Ledecky, Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, and Erin Gemmell, competed in the 4 x 200m freestyle relay and finished second, behind Australia.
This win gave Ledecky her 13th medal, making her the most decorated American woman in Olympic history and the most decorated woman swimmer in the world. Only Michael Phelps, with 28 medals, has more than her.
As swimming events come to an end, Katie Ledecky still has one more chance to add to her medal collection. She will compete in the 800m freestyle on Saturday.
Even though the Paris Olympics is Ledecky’s fourth Olympics, she hopes to compete in the Los Angeles games in 2028.
“Yeah, I’ve been consistent these last few months and these last few years in saying that I would love to compete in LA, and that hasn’t changed.”
Congratulations, Katie! You are the greatest of all time.
Please share if you love watching Katie Ledecky compete.
