Katie Ledecky's dominance in the 1500-meter freestyle was on full display during Tuesday's preliminary heats.
Along with fellow American Katie Grimes, Ledecky competed in the third and final heat and easily qualified for Wednesday's finals by jumping out to an early lead that only got bigger and bigger over the duration of the race.
With her bronze medal in the 400 free Saturday, Ledecky now has 11 Olympic medals, and she could become the most decorated female Olympic swimmer of all-time at these Games. Jenny Thompson, Dara Torres and Natalie Coughlin are tied at the top with 12.
