Katie Ledecky has cemented her status as the queen of the pool by winning her fourth consecutive Olympic gold in the women’s 800m freestyle at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This win not only highlights her incredible consistency and dominance but also etches her name in the annals of Olympic history.
Clocking in at 8:11.04, Ledecky outswam her competitors, adding another gold to her already impressive collection. With nine golds and 14 Olympic medals overall, she’s truly in a league of her own. Her victory makes her the first woman to achieve four straight golds in a single swimming event and the second swimmer ever, following in the footsteps of Michael Phelps.
Australia grabbed the silver, while another American swimmer took home the bronze. But all eyes were on Ledecky, as her performance continues to inspire awe and admiration.
And let’s not forget about the rising star from Canada—Summer McIntosh. The 17-year-old sensation shattered the Olympic record in the 200m individual medley with a time of 2:06.56, earning her a well-deserved gold medal. McIntosh’s victory signals the arrival of a new generation of swimming talent ready to take the world by storm.
