Incredible swim! Katie continues to prove why she's the distance queen with such consistent dominance over the last decade. Remember, she first won GOLD in the 800m at the 2012 Olympics in London. She has 7 Olympic Gold medals and 19 World Championship Gold medals, the most in history for a female swimmer!
I picture some of the competitors thinking, "Wow, I'm keeping up with Ledecky!" No, you're two or three laps behind her. 10 seconds is huge. Congratulations Katie!
@@bertorrrr Not in the heat of competition. All you know is where people are immediately adjacent to you (anyone outside of lanes 3 and 5 probably had no idea where she was and didn't care).
@@ikepigott Yeah I tried looking for the other swimmers times but couldn't find them. Thanks. I did find that In another race recently she won swimming 22 seconds slower. Do you know if this is due to the difference swimming 25m vs a full 50m in the larger pools?
She's just incredible... It's got to be disheartening to even get in the pool with her...."how many seconds did Katie beat you by? 250m". You know all these other swimmers are fantastic themselves, which just makes Katie Ledecky that much more impressive.
I'm a gymnastics fan. I had a conversation with someone the other day on the topic of "Was gymnastics more or less interesting when Simone won SIX all-around golds in a row?" We settled on MORE interesting because there were kinda 2 simultaneous competitions -- Simone vs. her past self, and everyone else competing for silver and bronze! I imagine it probably feels similar for fans of women's distance swimmers in this era.
I just swim for exercise, and the most I've gotten in one workout is 1000 yards in roughly 30 minutes. Ledecky went more than 50% farther in half the time. That's hard to even wrap my mind around.
Imagine that you are one of the elite swimmers in the world, in the finals against 7 other great swimmers, and then feeling the wake of this incredible athlete! I mean the 2nd place swimmer actually swam a fantastic, but it looked like she had an anchor compared to Katie's pace.
I'm reminded of the story of the four minute mile, when it took just the right conditions - including the 3 strongest runners in the world taking part - and pushing each other forward - for the psychological record to be broken. And here is Katie just doing laps in blissful solitude, as if in the world of her own, lapping the competition left and right. Amazing.
Stunning to see that her closest competitor was 2 laps behind, others 4 or 6 laps back. Just, wow!!!! I wonder whether there will be someone soon who can at least keep up with her . . . What an impressive athlete!
@@brahmburgers Not true. 35 feet would be about 19% greater than the existing world record for the long jump and accomplished in a single jump (over 16% for the javelin improvement). In this race she set the 1500 short course world record by a little over 1% and her other world records are a little over 2% faster than the person with the world record before her (after multiple incremental improvements). She is the most dominant female swimmer ever and certainly agree she is an inspiration to girls everywhere, but she hasn't done anything remotely close to what you are suggesting.
50m pace with 1500m/5000m technics, she opened an other class of competition. incredible is the work behind, which is not only physical or mental. congratulation
Holy smokes! I had a 30' length pool in my backyard & was happy to do 3 sets of 7-8 laps w/rests in between. Wouldn't even think to time it. This is phenomenal.
I just had to see it to believe it. Amazing! The smooth turns gave her a body length on everyone. The rest was God-like stamina driven by her own passion and skill. She likens to another great one-of-a-kind athlete: Secretariat. The world may never see a better.
This is a short course record, which was already lower than ledecky's official world record in the long course pool(50 meters). That record remains the same.
The Brazilian in lane #5 really did not want to get lapped by Ledecky. Looked like she was really giving it her all and did a commendable job fending off the the inevitable "Ledecky Lapping" ...for a while, but once Katie lapped her she faded quickly. Looks like a few girls got lapped a few times.
Es la reina, definitivamente. Esta es la prueba donde demuestra más su dominio, ya que en los 400 ya cedió el primer lugar con Australia, creo que con el ritmo que mantuvo, bien puede ir por el oro en esos 400. Felicidades!
Katie Ledecky turned on Beast Mode soon as she hit the water. She is phenomenal, I’ve never seen anyone better… 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽. I hope she reigns over the pool for a very very long time…
🏊It absolutely amazes me how she dominates her races ! 10 seconds is an eternity in world class race times. World records are usually broken in tenths of a second , this is just incredible.🏊
10 seconds! Folks thats HUGE! 10 SECONDS, KATIE is like watching secretariat in the Belmont. HISTORY i got to see HISTORY, thank you KATIE and AWESOME JOB! Congratulations!🇺🇸
The time she beat it by works out to over 1%, which is the really crazy part. When thinking about the top 1% of athletes in the world it is crazy to think that one of them could be far enough ahead of every other athlete to compete in that event ever. By comparison, you would only have to beat the Women's 100m dash, an event where strategy is no existent because it is just 'sprint', you would have to beat the WR time by over 0.11sec against a record of 10.49sec set in 1988, so no one has beat that time in over 3 decades.
I can’t wait to see Katie Ledecky and Simone biles and Ryan Murphy at the gymnastics events and swimming events at the 2024 summer Olympic Games in Paris France 🇫🇷

This should have received much more press. What an incredible feat. Go Katie!!

@@bertorrrr Not in the heat of competition. All you know is where people are immediately adjacent to you (anyone outside of lanes 3 and 5 probably had no idea where she was and didn't care).
10 seconds was the margin for the world record. Her nearest competitor in the pool was about 40 seconds behind her.

She speeds up during the final laps. Amazing, outstanding athlete 🏊🏻♀🥇
Simply astounding. Whenever Katie swims the 1500m, it's never a question of if she'll win it's a question of if she'll break her own record.
I can’t even put into words how ABSOLUTELY dominating she was in this race unbelievable!👍🤘🏻
Her speed and endurance is unlike any other ever. Mind numbing!

Putting to rest again the argument that male bodies can easily out perform female bodies!
@@harryrussell154except the male record is 37 seconds faster…
It's difficult to fathom this kind of dominance at this level of competition.
It would be like a long jumper jumping 35 ft. or a javelin being thrown 115 meters. Ledecki is a great inspiration to girls everywhere.

I'm thinking that most of us couldn't keep up with her even if we had a paddle board and swim fins. Well, I know that I couldn't.
Phenomenal. We are all so lucky to be witnessing her amazing reign.
While we are all in amazement of what she's achieved, just imagine for a moment her work ethic to get there.
It takes a lot of pain, sacrifice, dedication, and determination. It's not easy.

Greatest freestyler of all time
Thank you so much for posting this......without commentary. I've heard enough exited Rowdy Gaines squeals to last seven lifetimes.
I’m still not over this.
Just another day in the office for Ledecky. The GOAT!
This is a short course record, which was already lower than ledecky's official world record in the long course pool(50 meters). That record remains the same.
🎉🎉Katie. Met her in the summer at Phillips 66. Such a nice person, but a beast in the water
She is so cool! Awesome! Thank you Katie!
saw this live!
she is amazing...i can't wait to see her inParis......

She was very nice, waited for everybody to finish before getting out of the pool. Class
You have to do that, why on earth would you think you don't have to
Not surprisingly everybody else does that too.
Felicitaciones. Obtuviste un Gran record mundial. Que gran nadadora eres.
Beautiful Balance, Katie makes the pool as small as a Bath Tub. Loads of room for improvement😉 well done
What a swim! What a swimmer! Well done Katie Ledecky!
There's another thing we can say for sure. She doesn't have long covid. What endurance!
I wonder how many lungs does she have.There’s mo stopping for her.She’s getting even stronger.
lol. She is such a legend!
Big fan of Katie! A beast!!!!! Lapping your competition is insane to me.
I've seen this race 5 times. Ashtounding
Incredible Record!

Great video; a bit more of the underwater shot would have been cool for the swim nerds ... 😌

Greetings and Blessings
I mean this as the highest compliment...Katie is a freak of nature, and living in her time is an honor!
No lo rompió, lo destruyó!!! Felicitaciones!!!

Amazing!!! You ROCK👏🏼🤙
I could watch this young lady swim, all day. You go Katie!!!
Amazing. Have her on late night TV circuit. What a great example to girls everywhere!
Katie is in a universe of her own, and she's not slowly down!
Katie Ladecky, no one will forget ur name!!! U r a beast!!@
Unbelievable as a teen in London and unbelievable now. She put more than 2 laps on most of the field and maybe all.
Her circulatory system/heart muscle is probably so efficient that it barely beats at rest.
🏊It absolutely amazes me how she dominates her races ! 10 seconds is an eternity in world class race times. World records are usually broken in tenths of a second , this is just incredible.🏊
Predicted 15:08 this morning in the swim swam comments 🤣.
That was insane she's a beast an amazing athlete 💪🏾
The rest of the swimmers be like: I will try my best to prevent Ledecky from lapping me twice!😂
You are the best ever. Thank you. Yay USA😊❤
My hero Katie! So smooth!
"Hi, Katie! What are your plans for today?"
"Just the usual. Kicking ass and taking names. You know, girl stuff."
What a BAMF.
I take 1 hour to swim the same distance 🤭
...but you do the distance. Well done, you!
I swam this in college… my best was about 15:47.. her record blows me away ❤
Great swimming
Katie is the GOAT......Unreal
USA.. USA..so proud of her. She lapped her competition like America should.
WOW! Stunning!
She is the women’s swimmer of a lifetime.
Simply stated… she’s amazing!
I love 💗 watching Katie Ledecky and Katie grimes at the 2024 summer Olympic Games in Paris France
I can’t even imagine doing such a thing at a junior competition let alone on the Worlds stage!!!
She freakin lapped people. That's just incredible. She finished and had to hang out in the pool waiting for the rest of the swimmers to finish.
Girl in the blue cap just above her got an added boost halfway through the race when ledeke lapped her giving her a pace car to chase.
To think that she lapped *everyone* by that much!
If you ever try swimming 50m in 30s, you have to go really fast. Katie keeps this pace the whole race! 😮
OMG 😱 WoW!
Amazing. Far beyond impressive.
I love how that bright pink suit stands out against the water!
Couldn’t watch this live. Wished they had shown how long it took #2 to finish the race
The goat! Only she can beat this record. Will last 30 years otherwise.
10 seconds! Folks thats HUGE! 10 SECONDS, KATIE is like watching secretariat in the Belmont. HISTORY i got to see HISTORY, thank you KATIE and AWESOME JOB! Congratulations!🇺🇸
Damn. She killed it! 🏅🏅🏅🏅
Did I just witness her lap them 4 times?
At least!
Astounding... But, was she just a bit disappointed that she didn't break the 15 minute barrier...????
Idk what that music was in the background, but I would rather dig my own brain out with a spoon than listen to that.
Turned off sound 🙉
Awesome! And you have more to do next year, because at 1200m you have partial over -10s yet...
Man, what an amazing swim. Katie Ledecky is a beast in the pool. God mode activated.
