Katie Ledecky Wins Historic 9th Olympic Gold

American swimming legend Katie Ledecky clinched her 9th Olympic gold medal in the women's 800m freestyle at the Paris Games, cementing her status as the most decorated female Olympian. The 27-year-old, who has already set her sights on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, matched the record of Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina. Australia's Ariarne Titmus and American Paige Madden rounded out the podium. Ledecky's dominant performance in 8:11.04 made her the only swimmer, alongside Michael Phelps, to win the same Olympic event four times. With this victory, Ledecky adds to her impressive tally of 14 Olympic medals and 21 world titles, surpassing even the great Phelps.
