What people need to realise too is that she's not beating cannon fodder here. The top 7 times in this race are all TOP level world class swims. Women's distance freestyle is actually quite deep at present, even without Ledecky this was a SCORCHING race, remember other than Ledecky, even including super suit swims barely a dozen or more girls have ever broken 8:20. So the fact she is dismantling such class athletes is even more impressive than it looks.

Who’s BACK after she won the 800m again in Tokyo?

I literally watch this every time before I go swimming in the changing room, it really gets me going! 💪She has perfect rhythm & power. The analogy is really useful too from the commentators I’ve learnt a lot

11:00 is one of the best shots in the history of the olympics

That motivation to push yourself further even when you’re swimming on the opposite direction than the others. Just wow.

Wow, That was a superhuman performance, unbelievable

Thank God she's on our team lol

Kapas brought her time from 2012 down nearly 7 seconds which is insanely impressive, yet she ended up losing 3 seconds to Ledecky over that time who dropped 10 seconds.

Such bravery in pushing herself, so far past her limit. She should never have been able to finish this race at that pace. How wonderful to fight for triumph, completely without fear. May we all meet our own limitations with such courage.
