Uhh she lapped 3 SWIMMERS?!? If she added an extra 100m, she would've finished 1st AND 5th, that's INSANE

I think she would catch one more in the next 100 🤩

Was I the only one really proud when she caught up to the swimmers in the 8th and 9th lanes

At the end of the olympics, all of the gold medalists should have a dodge ball fight and have a grand champion.

Often times, when people say you never know what might happen, it's true; but if someone tells you that might beat her, it's just not remotely believable or possible. Just got done watching her at Stanford and she won the 1650m by 22 seconds. Of which, that girl who got 2nd place at Standford in that race is as fast if not faster than the people getting second at these Olympics who are competing against Katie. The person who lost this race did so by 27 seconds, a difference of 5 seconds. 5 seconds is more than what most anyone gives up in just 150m. Katie gained about 3 seconds for ever 150m over the 2nd place finisher in this race.

Katie Ledecky's absolutely superb stamina is her tremendous advantage .

She still looks like shes sprinting even after 8 minutes. This is truly amazing

When I do the 1500, I lose count all the time, so I help myself keep count by alternating the 100’s with the flutter kick and the “sort of 2-beat kick” that she’s doing. I thought I was doing it wrong and then I saw her technique and thought.. okay I’m in good company. But er.. compared to her I’m like a row boat against a speed boat.

You're not even watching a race anymore, you're just watching Ladecky perform a time trial

"Katie Ledecky is human" That sounds fake but okay...

Wow, this Performance was absolutely perfect!!! Pure Dominance, All Great Performances Overall, though Katie Ledecky is "Super Woman", of the Pool 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Anybody know why the 1500m isn't part of the Olympics for the women? I've never understood that, and Rowdy Gaines on NBC thinks it's absolutely crazy that it's not on the Olympic program. Katie would surely have another gold medal.

Ledecky is an inspiration - I'd say one of the best female swimmers ever, she's in a completely different league of her own.

She's not even exhausted after finishing. Lmao

The announcers were wrong lmao. Addlington's British record was 8:14.10 in the 800meter. The 8:11 they were referring to was one of Ledecky's old world records in the 800

queen of dolphins ! how she feels the water so ?

My local aquatic center had long days today,,,so it was my first time swimming 50m one way. That helps me put 1500m into perspective and can appreciate this feat. Shout out to anyone who can swim 1500m straight. I’m maybe going 1000m-2000m over the course of 4 hours in 25m lanes,, including breaks, water, bathroom , I’m working my way up and I’m excited to try the 50m long days again!! Every Tuesday and Thursday :)

Wow. First time I've seen her lap people. She is a true beast. Love it.

Ledeck é Um fenômeno que surge uma vez a cada século

I bet her parents are so proud of her. I know I would be

Love this swimmer!! AMAZING _ GO KATIE

absolutely unreal!! Excellent job Katie:)

She doesn't kick very often. Swim coaches for years have stressed that swimmers kick as hard as they can. I never kicked much when I swam, but that was because I had to think about it and I always forgot. I just let my arms do most of the pulling.

Best 1500m I can do is 30:00 (HALF as fast!). But then, I'm twice as old!

So amazing...

she's magnificent swimmer😀

Ledecky's 800m split in 1500m race is faster than everyone racing 800m free at the Olympics. She could win two 800m races back to back without any rest lol

she's turboed,apprently. The way she swims, the power she generates, amazes me. She is the BOSS😎

I wonder if she has ever thought about doing open water 10k as well, that is usually a few days after the pool swimming is done. Galen Rupp was a 5k and 10k runner, until he ran his first ever marathon at trials, and is second ever in Rio, where he got the bronze, there is always the possibility.

I just received two more steroid injections in my spine and I watch her races everyday as I recoup and recover and get stronger in the pool everyday. Role model and inspiring.

+atiboyful Ledecky is an extremely talented swimmer. Maybe she's bigger, but that doesn't mean much. It is not as if Ledecky is a one-shot-wonder. She has done this repeatedly. Someone better will always come along. Katie is proving herself better. That doesn't lessen Evans. Evans is still the fantastic swimmer she always was (in the eyes of history. I doubt she's still as fantastic physically as she was in her swimming prime.) If anything, it simply is an example of someone else continuing a fantastic legacy of proving all of the nay-sayers wrong when they say someone is too young.
