Katie Ledecky Wins Ninth Olympic Gold, 14th Medal in Paris 800m Freestyle
Aug 3, 2024, 07:47 PM
Katie Ledecky has won her ninth career Olympic gold medal by securing her fourth consecutive gold in the women's 800-meter freestyle at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This victory makes her the first woman to win the same individual event in four straight Summer Games. Ledecky finished the race with a time of 8:11.04, ahead of Australia's Ariarne Titmus (8:12.29) and fellow American Paige Madden (8:13.00). This achievement ties her with former Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina for the most Olympic gold medals by a female athlete in any sport. Ledecky now holds the record for the most gold medals by an American woman and the most gold medals for a female swimmer in Olympic history. She also joins Michael Phelps as the only swimmers to win four gold medals in the same event, bringing her total Olympic medal count to 14.
