At the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, Katie Ledecky further solidified her status as one of the greatest swimmers of all time. The 24-year-old American won two gold medals and two silver medals, bringing her total Olympic medal count to an astonishing 18.

Ledecky began her Tokyo campaign by winning the gold medal in the women's 1500-meter freestyle. She then followed that up with a silver medal in the 200-meter freestyle, a gold medal in the 800-meter freestyle, and a silver medal in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay.

Ledecky's victory in the 1500-meter freestyle was particularly impressive. She dominated the race from start to finish, winning by over 10 seconds. Her time of 15:37.34 was the fastest time in the world this year and also the second-fastest time in history.

With her two gold medals in Tokyo, Ledecky now has a total of seven Olympic gold medals, which is more than any other American woman. She also has 11 Olympic medals overall, which is second only to Jenny Thompson's 12 medals.

Ledecky's accomplishments in Tokyo have cemented her status as one of the greatest swimmers of all time. She is still only 24 years old, so she has many more years to add to her already impressive legacy.
