Katie Ledecky is no stranger to the Olympic stage.

Ledecky is making her fourth Olympic appearance and is expected to add to her resume in Paris. She already has 10 Olympic medals, including seven golds.

At the U.S. Olympic Trials in June, Ledecky dominated in each of her events. She is set to race in the 400-meter freestyle, 800-meter freestyle, 1500-meter freestyle, and 4x200-meter freestyle relay in Paris.

In her strongest event, the 800 meters, Ledecky can join Michael Phelps as the only swimmers to win four straight gold medals in the same Olympic event. 

Ledecky also has the chance to pass Jenny Thompson for most gold medals (8) and total medals (12) for a female swimmer in Olympic history. Here's how to watch her add to her legacy at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
