In case you were wondering if Katie Ledecky is still Katie Ledecky, the answer is YES.
Earlier this week, chatter started surfacing online about Ledecky possibly losing a step after she won a bronze medal in the women’s 400m freestyle final. (Yeah, people really said that.)
Of course, there’s something to consider here. That’s not Ledecky’s premier event. So, winning any sort of medal was just fine. Also, the longer events, like the 1500m freestyle, are her bread and butter. As you might suspect, Ledecky absolutely smoked the competition in a 1500m heat Tuesday to punch her ticket to the 1500m final.
Here’s 5 fantastic photos of Katie Ledecky practically swimming alone:
