One of the top storylines at the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics is going to be the American swimmer, Katie Ledecky, who has a chance to become the all-time women's leader in Olympic swimming medals.

Her current count of seven gold medals and 10 total medals, which is just below the current record-holder, Jenny Thompson. Thompson won a combined eight gold medals and 12 total medals across four different Olympic games from 1992 to 2004. Ledecky needs two gold medals to three total medals to surpass her in both categories.
