The 27-year-old continued her domination of the 1,500-meter freestyle race, becoming just the seventh athlete to win gold in four different Games.
PARIS — Katie Ledecky has already clearly established herself as the greatest female American swimmer in history. On a raucous Wednesday night in La Défense Arena, she kept building her case for even bigger accolades—the greatest American female Olympian in any sport, and perhaps even the greatest female Olympian, period.
Ledecky is now just the seventh athlete to win gold in four different Olympics, and just the second swimmer . The only other woman to do it was Japanese wrestler Kaori Icho from 2004–16. In total medal terms, Ledecky now has 12 to tie with fellow American swimmers Thompson, Dara Torres and Natalie Coughlin. It would be shocking if she didn’t move past them during these Games.
