Katie Ledecky Looks Ahead: More Races and Relays in Pursuit of Records

Katie Ledecky, 27-year-old swimmer has tied a notable record in the swimming world by securing 12 medals throughout her career. This achievement equals the record set by three other American female swimmers: Dara Torres, Natalie Coughlin, and Jenny Thompson. Ledecky is likely to surpass this record with more medals as she competes further in the Paris Olympics.

Next up for Ledecky is the final of the 4×200 freestyle relay scheduled for Thursday. Given the U.S.’s strong performance in this event in previous Olympics, Ledecky stands a good chance of securing her 13th medal with a probable silver or better. Following that, she will be aiming for her fourth consecutive gold medal in the 800 freestyle, with the preliminaries taking place on Friday and the final on Saturday.

With a total of eight gold medals in her career, seven of them being individual victories, Ledecky is a shining star in the world of swimming. She entered these Olympic Games already holding the record for the most individual gold medals won by a female swimmer. This exceptional athlete has one more individual event and a relay left to possibly add more medals to her impressive collection.
