Poll: What Is Katie Ledecky’s Greatest World Record? (Vote Here!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

During her spectacular career, Katie Ledecky<\/strong> has set 17 world records – 15 in the long-course pool. Her latest world mark was produced last weekend, when the 28-year-old covered the 800-meter freestyle in 8:04.12 at the TYR Pro Series stop in Fort Lauderdale<\/a>. Ledecky’s performance arrived nearly nine years after she clocked 8:04.79 at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

Is Ledecky’s effort from Fort Lauderdale<\/a> the greatest world record of her career? Or, is her finest global standard another swim. Maybe her 15:20.48 in the 1500 freestyle, which is 18 seconds faster than the No. 2 performer of all-time? Perhaps her 3:56.46 outing in the 400 freestyle at the Rio Games? Do you have another of Ledecky’s world records in mind?<\/p>\n

Cast your vote in the poll below for the greatest world record by Ledecky, a future Hall of Famer and widely considered the finest female swimmer in history.<\/p>\n
