Nelly Korda, despite recent struggles, aims to reclaim her form and win a second gold medal at the Paris Olympics, having prepared intensively for two weeks. Meanwhile, Katie Ledecky continues to make history at the 2024 Paris Olympics, securing her fourth consecutive gold in the 800m freestyle. This victory makes her the first female swimmer to achieve such a feat and ties her with Larisa Latynina for the most Olympic golds by a woman. Ledecky has now won nine gold medals, the most by any American woman, and plans to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Her rivalry with Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus has pushed both athletes to new heights. Ledecky also acknowledged the pressure she felt but expressed satisfaction with her performance and the support from her teammates.
