Worlds wrapped up on Sunday, but not before Ledecky broke another record in the 800 free. With that, she has won every Olympic and World Championships event she's competed in--the gold in the 800 m free in London, and gold in the 4x200 free relay, 400 free, 800 free, and 1500 free in Barcelona. Truly amazing. So, let's take a look at her world record in her signature event, the 800!
Also, she is such a class act in how she interacts with her predecessors and competitors.

And with her toughest competitor in the 800 and 1500:

And as is often the case, Mike Gustafson sums it up perfectly.
Katie Ledecky's legacy: Swimming so fast that NBC can't cut to commercial throughout an entire 800 free.
