Her win in the 1,500-meter freestyle tied the record, but she swims again this weekend.
A little more than three years from that historic day, Ledecky swam into the record books with another winning 1,500-meter freestyle swim.
The individual gold medal record held by Ledecky and Phelps for the World Aquatics Championships stands at 15 as of July 25. But that record could be broken on Saturday when Ledecky swims in the 800-meter individual freestyle event. Ledecky earned her first medal at the 2023 Worlds on July 23 with a silver medal performance in the 400-meter freestyle event. Following her second-place finish, Ledecky reached out to her fans on Twitter to share her reaction to her silver medal and excitement for today’s 1,500-meter event.
“Day 1 400 free in the books, happy with my swim! Always an honor to pick up a medal for @USASwimming especially in such a fast 400 final,”. “We’re just getting started, excited to get going on some distance with the 1500 up next here.”@USASwimmingWe’re just getting started, excited to get going on some distance with the 1500 up next here 😎
