Katie Ledecky was back to being her dominant self on Wednesday as she won gold in the 1500-meter freestyle in emphatic fashion. Visuals of how far ahead of the field she was were staggering.
Ledecky won the race in an Olympic record time of 15:30.02, finishing more than 10 seconds ahead of her closest competition. As is typical in Ledecky's 1500-meter races, she was so far ahead her opponents were often not even in the picture.
