US swimmer Katie Ledecky tied another swimming icon, Michael Phelps, for the most career individual world swimming titles
The 26-year-old won her 15th individual world title as she dominated the 1,500-meter freestyle at the world championships in Fukuoka, Japan. Ledecky finished with a time of 15 minutes and 26.27 seconds, 17.04 seconds faster than Italy’s Simona Quadarella who settled for silver while China’s Li Bingjie took bronze. In doing so, she leveled the record set by 23-time Olympic gold medalist Phelps for the most individual world swimming titles, something Ledecky called an “honor.
Just going to keep going and continue to do my best every time I race.” According to USA Swimming, Ledecky is the first woman to win 20 world titles – she has won five team golds. This was her fifth world title in the 1,500m event and continues her record of being undefeated over the distance in her career. She won in the third best time ever swum in the event, only behind her world record set in 2018 and her World Championships record set in 2015.
