Wow such a long race. It kept going on and on every time I thought it was the last lap. Congratulations to her!

32 lengths rather than 16 we're used to watching in the 4x400 or 400 free. Katie does the 1500 too, so that's 60 lengths (30 laps).
It's amazing how controlled she was. She knew the time it would take and I'm sure she was spot on that time. She shut in down when she needed to preserve energy and then she went 8 seconds faster in the final. So smart at that age.

Can someone enlighten what ‘shut in down when needed’ is and at which time stamp are we looking at for this? Which 8 seconds faster in the final?

Katie is an amazing swimmer and such and inspiration to me
What is interesting about this video from 2012 is the evolution of her kick; she still swims the same at the front end, but has changed her backend. She now uses a 2 beat, 1 beat, and surge point kick.
@Olympics: Why is this video no longer available? Was so excited to watch Ledecky's previous races again -- and I'm finding that they're no longer here. Can you please make them available again?

Yeah Titmus is incredible in the middle distance events. The 400m was a great race. It's amazing Katie even swims the 200&400m though, she was strictly a distance swimmer for a long time.
Wow im early
