American swimmer Katie Ledecky has shattered records at the Paris Olympics, marking her as one of the greatest female swimmers of all time.Ledecky set an Olympic record with a time of 15:30.02 in the 1500-meter race. Ledecky has not lost this race in 14 years. Her decisive win allows her to match the record for most Olympic medals ever won by a woman with 12. Ledecky is also now tied with swimmer Jenny Thompson's record for the most Olympic gold medals won by an American woman with eight medals.Furthermore, Ledecky is the first female swimmer to win gold at four different Olympic Games. "It's an honor to be named among that group; I mean, so many swimmers that I looked up to that have gotten me to this moment. I'm still in the moment. I am trying to take it all in, so, um, definitely enjoying tonight and trying to soak in every little bit, but once the week is over, I'll really be able to process it all," said Ledecky. The 27-year-old Ledecky has a chance at more golds and making more history as she's set to swim in the 800 freestyle and 4x200 relay.The games in Paris don't end until Aug. 11. However, the swimming events will wrap up this Sunday.
