On Thursday, Katie Ledecky set yet another record when the women’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay team from Team USA took home the silver medal.
With 13 medals, the 27-year-old became the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history. Her most recent victory ended a tie she had with Dara Torres, Jenny Thompson, and swimmer Natalie Coughlin.
In the demanding 1500m freestyle on Wednesday, the Maryland native claimed her eighth gold medal and her 12th overall. Ledecky tied Thompson for the most gold medals won by a female swimmer in Olympic history when she completed the event in an Olympic record time of 15:30.02.
Ledecky told reporters that she allowed her thoughts to roam and considered all the people who had contributed to her current situation as she was swimming.
“And during the race, I kind of let my mind wander, remembering everyone who has trained with me.” Was like thinking about them and chanting their names in my brain. I love you guys, my Florida crew—all those Florida boys who challenged me every day. I know I often make your life difficult, but you guys really made my life easy today. I really appreciate it.
The 27-year-old swimmer had another opportunity to increase her medal total on Thursday.
Ledecky, Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, and Erin Gemmell represented Team USA in the 4 × 200m freestyle relay, finishing second behind Australia.
Ledecky became the most decorated American woman in Olympic history and the most decorated woman of any nation in swimming history with the team’s victory, which brought her 13 medals overall. She is only ahead of Michael Phelps, who has 28 medals.
Ledecky has one more chance to increase her medal total as swimming draws to a close. On Saturday, she’ll participate in the 800m freestyle.
Ledecky intends to qualify for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, despite the fact that this is her fourth Olympics overall, in Paris.
“Yes, my statement that I would love to compete in Los Angeles hasn’t changed over the last few months or years has been consistent.”
Katie, congratulations! You are history’s greatest.
The Distressed Mother Dog, Unable To Stand And Lying There In Desperation, Cries Out For Help To Protect And Care For Her Puppies.
A good samaritan noticed this unfortunate dog family in a rubbish dump. The mama dog was in really horrible shape. She could not even stand up yet she attempted to feed her babies.
The decent person drove them to a safer spot and solicited the aid of a local rescuer. She offered them some food and drink while waiting for help. It’s terrible since the poor mama was on the edge of dying away.
They were brought to a refuge for animals. They are a stray dog family, and the mama was terribly damaged owing to skin illness. Her pups are completely healthy and do not have any severe health concerns.
The mama made a complete recovery and is now reunited with her babies in their safe refuge. They enjoy a wonderful health and spend their finest life together. It was painful at first, but it quickly turned uplifting.
We are appreciative for the aid and for giving this family a second shot. They would not have lived if it hadn’t been for your generosity and affection
