Katie Ledecky is no stranger to making history.
After locking up her fourth gold-medal win in the 800m freestyle at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday, Ledecky joined fellow Olympic great Michael Phelps as the only two swimmers to win four gold medals in the same event (Phelps’ four medals came in the 200m individual relay).
The 27-year-old also became just the seventh athlete ever to win four gold medals in one event in Olympic history. She’s also the fifth American and the first woman to do so.
“The four times (record) is the one that means the most to me,” Ledecky said. “August 3 is the day I won in 2012, and I didn’t want August 3 to be a day I didn’t like, moving forward. Kinda felt like I put a lot of pressure on myself. So I’m happy I got the job done.”

Ledecky has medaled four times in Paris — gold in the 800m freestyle and 1500m freestyle, silver in the 4x200m freestyle and bronze in the 400m freestyle — bringing her career medal count to 14, including nine gold.
Ledecky is now the most-decorated female swimmer and the fifth-most decorated athlete in Olympic history.
