American swimmer Katie Ledecky has made history at the Tokyo Olympics, becoming the most decorated woman in US Olympic history and the most decorated female Olympic swimmer of all time. With a total of 13 medals, including 8 golds, Ledecky’s latest achievements include a bronze in the 400m freestyle and a gold in the 1500m freestyle. She is now tied with other legendary swimmers for the most Olympic medals by an American. Ledecky is a favorite in the upcoming 800m freestyle event, where a win would tie her with Larisa Latynina for the most gold medals by a female Olympian. Despite being behind Michael Phelps in total medals, Ledecky’s impressive career may continue beyond Tokyo, with a potential appearance at the 2028 Olympics on home soil.
