Incredible swim! Katie continues to prove why she's the distance queen with such consistent dominance over the last decade. Remember, she first won GOLD in the 800m at the 2012 Olympics in London. She has 7 Olympic Gold medals and 19 World Championship Gold medals, the most in history for a female swimmer!

10 seconds was the margin for the world record. Her nearest competitor in the pool was about 40 seconds behind her.

[@seaninness334]

@@ikepigott Yeah I tried looking for the other swimmers times but couldn't find them. Thanks. I did find that In another race recently she won swimming 22 seconds slower. Do you know if this is due to the difference swimming 25m vs a full 50m in the larger pools?

[@belmarmom]

Simply astounding. Whenever Katie swims the 1500m, it's never a question of if she'll win it's a question of if she'll break her own record.

[@johnparkerreed5712]

I can’t even put into words how ABSOLUTELY dominating she was in this race unbelievable!👍🤘🏻

[@mrmiscast]

She's just incredible... It's got to be disheartening to even get in the pool with her...."how many seconds did Katie beat you by? 250m". You know all these other swimmers are fantastic themselves, which just makes Katie Ledecky that much more impressive.

[@karyon1007]

I'm a gymnastics fan. I had a conversation with someone the other day on the topic of "Was gymnastics more or less interesting when Simone won SIX all-around golds in a row?" We settled on MORE interesting because there were kinda 2 simultaneous competitions -- Simone vs. her past self, and everyone else competing for silver and bronze! I imagine it probably feels similar for fans of women's distance swimmers in this era.

[@NotAghostSpeedruns]

I just swim for exercise, and the most I've gotten in one workout is 1000 yards in roughly 30 minutes. Ledecky went more than 50% farther in half the time. That's hard to even wrap my mind around.

[@ObamAmerican48]

She speeds up during the final laps. Amazing, outstanding athlete 🏊🏻‍♀🥇

[@thomasrobinson5190]

Imagine that you are one of the elite swimmers in the world, in the finals against 7 other great swimmers, and then feeling the wake of this incredible athlete! I mean the 2nd place swimmer actually swam a fantastic, but it looked like she had an anchor compared to Katie's pace.

[@dimrub]

I'm reminded of the story of the four minute mile, when it took just the right conditions - including the 3 strongest runners in the world taking part - and pushing each other forward - for the psychological record to be broken. And here is Katie just doing laps in blissful solitude, as if in the world of her own, lapping the competition left and right. Amazing.

[@mcmccrane]

Her speed and endurance is unlike any other ever. Mind numbing!

[@SJmystic]

Stunning to see that her closest competitor was 2 laps behind, others 4 or 6 laps back. Just, wow!!!! I wonder whether there will be someone soon who can at least keep up with her . . . What an impressive athlete!

[@bigrob966]

It's difficult to fathom this kind of dominance at this level of competition.

[@brahmburgers]

It would be like a long jumper jumping 35 ft. or a javelin being thrown 115 meters. Ledecki is a great inspiration to girls everywhere.

[@brianh6]

@@brahmburgers Not true. 35 feet would be about 19% greater than the existing world record for the long jump and accomplished in a single jump (over 16% for the javelin improvement). In this race she set the 1500 short course world record by a little over 1% and her other world records are a little over 2% faster than the person with the world record before her (after multiple incremental improvements). She is the most dominant female swimmer ever and certainly agree she is an inspiration to girls everywhere, but she hasn't done anything remotely close to what you are suggesting.

[@michaelmoss5476]

The Brazilian in lane #5 really did not want to get lapped by Ledecky. Looked like she was really giving it her all and did a commendable job fending off the the inevitable "Ledecky Lapping" ...for a while, but once Katie lapped her she faded quickly. Looks like a few girls got lapped a few times.

Awesome! And you have more to do next year, because at 1200m you have partial over -10s yet...

[@ryanburnham1932]

The time she beat it by works out to over 1%, which is the really crazy part. When thinking about the top 1% of athletes in the world it is crazy to think that one of them could be far enough ahead of every other athlete to compete in that event ever. By comparison, you would only have to beat the Women's 100m dash, an event where strategy is no existent because it is just 'sprint', you would have to beat the WR time by over 0.11sec against a record of 10.49sec set in 1988, so no one has beat that time in over 3 decades.

[@MrHarry1755]

I wonder why they didn’t use an Olympic size pool with 50m of length instead of 25m in Canada. Still a great a world record for Katie Ledecky. Always awesome to watch!

[@roberthudson1959]

25m is the established "short course" size. Most elite competition pools are 50m x 25m so that races can be held at either distance.

[@lajohnson1ly]

FINA has world championship meets for short course (25m) and long course (50m). The attention the short course format attracts is growing because it's the format for the pro swimming events,

[@MrHarry1755]

Short and Long Course Pool makes a lot of difference in the timing especially upon touching the wall and kick, the speed is relatively faster on the avg in the short course especially for distance swimmer 400/800/1500m. Personally, I like to watch the long pool course, its awesome to watch how quick they swim especially in the last 100m and 50m in particular. Katie Ledecky normally swim in the avg 1.55-1.56m/s and 1.63-1.68m/s in the last 50m. It would be an exciting race in Paris Olympic if she can maintain the existing world record in the short course pool (Toronto) or even faster. Hoping she is fit and healthy by then.
