Erica Sullivan was spectacular in this race - she swam a very strategic race to win the silver medal and help the US go 1-2 here. Love it!!

[@sarah-rs5ob]

I think she said she had a toe cramp for the first 200. Very impressive swim

[@miragowaikar98]

i can't be the only one looking back on these races in 2024. can't wait for what Paris has in store!!

[@hinglemckringleberry7580]

I do this every time the summer games are coming up. Ever since London. My gosh, what an Olympic games that was. Ledecky's first swim in Olympics. Phelps, Lochte, Missy Franklin, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney's perfect vault. Epke Zonderland's epic high bar routine. London was so special and fun.

[@alejandravillanueva7411]

And she did it again

[@rizkyakardono4640]

she won gold!!

[@tacksscherbo7771]

I consider myself pretty darned lucky to have lived to see THREE such amazing female athletes during my lifetime -- Katie Ledecky, Simone Biles and Serena Williams. Amazing, amazing athletes!!!

[@youtubeuser206]

serena isnt that amazing. margaret court has more grand slams and 12 less years of competition.

[@youtubeuser206]

and the respective males in each sport are still better 😝 no one beats phelps

[@tacksscherbo7771]

@@youtubeuser206 I am not going to belittle other athletes' accomplishments. That wasn't my intent. You apparently can't handle anyone complimenting someone you don't like without slapping someone's hand for it. Childish.

Biles was fragile

[@SH-co8de]

The fact that in world championships she dropp 5 seconds and she did the 6 best performances of all time is crazy changing her coach was the best decision ever

[@nopenevermind8559]

I like that once Ledecky reached the finish line she immediately looked into Sulivan lane!! 🤩😍😍🥰🥰

[@triciajohansen7124]

Congrats to all three women! They were all so excited and I am so happy to see this!🥇🥈🥉

Great to see a one and two finish for the USA. I also liked seeing Erica Sullivan and Jay Litherland win medals in Japan since they are of Japanese heritage as well. Great job to all!!!!!

Battle for second was intriguing - first Wang, then Quadarella, then Kohler and finally Sullivan

[@Paarthurnax_]

Katie Ledecky is my favourite American athlete.

[@twolak1972]

At 5.00 it's over. Ledecky is just warming up and the others seem to sense it. It must be hard to be swimming a olympic record pace and watch Ledecky just keep pulling away .

[@wenpingfan8444]

has anyone notice that kohler celebrating? Absolutely amazing!!

[@floridagators4life]

FINALLY THANK YOU! p.s. go katie!

[@barracuda7018]

1500 is actually Ledecky ' s best distance where she races against the clock.

[@jim242]

Thank you Katie

[@DiuQuy]

Amazing. Such an inspiration. 🎉

Was expecting the video on Thursday. Werent you folks posting tokyo replay on Thursday?

[@synchrone3188]

18:55 Both Sullivan and Kohler did butterfly kick when they get to the finish. Is it legal or something I don't know?

[@poooiz]

freestyle means you can swim however you want

[@jwang2879]

Would not say that’s a full butterfly kick. More like they glided in and it just happened to be like that. Would be harsh to disqualify them for something as minor as that…

[@Ineddiblehulk]

It would not be harsh because it’s minor, it would be harsh because it wasn’t any kind of infraction. No rule was broken.

[@novpato39]

@@Ineddiblehulk I mean, it's a common way for swimmers to finish. I do it all the time and I've never gotten DQ'd.

[@Ineddiblehulk]

@@novpato39 like I said, you can’t get dq’d for it because it’s not breaking a rule.
