Katie Ledecky Wins Record-Breaking 13th Olympic Medal in 4x200 Freestyle Relay. In a momentous achievement, Katie Ledecky secured her 13th Olympic medal in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay, becoming the most decorated female Olympian ever, NBC News reports. The American team, composed of Ledecky, Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, and Erin Gemmell, finished second behind Australia in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay, setting a significant record. The Australian team, including Mollie O’Callaghan, Lani Pallister, Brianna Throssell, and Arianre Titmus, clinched gold with an Olympic record time of 7:38.08. Defending champion China secured the bronze medal in the intense 4x200-meter freestyle relay competition at the Paris Olympics. Katie Ledecky played a key role by completing the third leg in 1:54.93, gaining time against Australia's Brianna Throssell and contributing significantly to the team's silver medal finish. At 10:33 p.m. local time, Katie Ledecky was awarded her 13th medal, solidifying her status as the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history. Erin Gemmell expressed admiration for Ledecky, noting the honor of participating in a relay with her and the joy of achieving this milestone together. Gemmell, who idolized Ledecky as a child and dressed as her for Halloween, now treasures the Olympic medal as a part of her own athletic journey. Following her historic medal win, Ledecky did not address the media, as she prepared for the 800-meter freestyle heats scheduled for the following day. Having recently set an Olympic record in the 1,500-meter freestyle, Katie Ledecky plans to continue her illustrious swimming career with aspirations to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
