Katie Ledecky Continues To Stun The Swimming World, 8:11.00 World Record in 800 Free

SHENANDOAH, Texas, June 22. JUST days after lopping two seconds off the world record in the women’s 1500-meter freestyle, NCAP’s Katie Ledecky took another two seconds off her global standard in the women’s 800-meter freestyle.

Ledecky rocketed to an unreal time of 8:11.00 today at The Woodlands Senior Invitational, rushing her previous record of 8:13.86 set in Barcelona at the World Championships last summer.

This is just days after Ledecky clocked a sizzling 15:34.23 in the 1500 free to crush her previous mark of 15:36.53.

In a rarity within most world record bids, Ledecky actually went out slower, then brought it home with an amazing push from the 300-600 meter marks, where she went from slower than her previous world-record pace to almost two seconds under.

Today:
28.91, 59.44 (30.53), 1:30.49 (31.05), 2:01.48 (30.99), 2:32.32 (30.84), 3:03.42 (31.10), 3:34.34 (30.92), 4:05.70 (31.36), 4:36.56 (30.86), 5:07.79 (31.23), 5:38.67 (30.88), 6:09.64 (30.97), 6:31.81 (22.17?), 7:10.87 (39.06?), 7:41.53 (30.66), 8:11.00 (29.47)
