Go to the all-time rankings page and advance to the section on the women&#8217;s 1500-meter freestyle. There, you will find <strong>Katie Ledecky&#8217;s<\/strong> name &#8211; over and over. In fact, considerable scrolling is necessary before you come across another athlete. Such is the dominance of the 28-year-old Ledecky, widely regarded as the greatest female swimmer in history.<\/p>\n<p>The 1500 freestyle was added to the Olympic program beginning with the 2020 Tokyo Games, and Ledecky has won both gold medals in the event. She is also a five-time world champion. But her greatness in the event is more apparent by looking at the discipline&#8217;s all-time status. Not only does Ledecky own the 21-fastest times in the history of the 1500 freestyle, she has posted 25 of the 26-swiftest performances ever.<\/p>\n<p>Still, here&#8217;s the premier statistic that illustrates Ledecky&#8217;s dominance in the 1500 freestyle. Her world record of 15:20.48, registered at the 2018 Pro Series in Indianapolis, is 18.40 seconds clear of the No. 2 performer. Sitting behind Ledecky &#8211; well behind &#8211; is Denmark&#8217;s Lotte Friis, who clocked a mark of 15:38.88 at the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona. In that race, Friis claimed the silver medal, with Ledecky earning gold.<\/p>\n<p>How much is 18-plus seconds? In a 1500 freestyle, that margin accounts for more than half a pool length. More, Ledecky is 1.97% faster over 30 laps than any other woman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Week of Katie Ledecky Stats (Day Three): Dominance in the 1500 Freestyle is Hard to Comprehend A little more than a week after she stunningly lowered her world record<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7533,"featured_media":531629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122077],"tags":[25031],"class_list":["post-611761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-americas","tag-katie-ledecky"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
