Katie Ledecky Qualifies for 2024 Olympics with 400m Freestyle Win at US Swim Trials

Make it four Olympics for Katie Ledecky.

The legendary United States swimmer qualified for the Paris Games on Saturday after winning the 400m freestyle at the U.S. Trials.

Ledecky finished with a time of 3:58.35 and is expected to also qualify in the 1500 and 800 freestyle, where she'll arguably be the favorite to win gold as the current world-record holder in those events.

She won't hold that distinction in the 400m free—Australia's Ariarne Titmus beat her in the event at the Tokyo Games and is the current world-record holder—but Ledecky will be expected to podium, given her pedigree.

"I know I have to be really fast in that event to compete for gold, or even to win a medal," Ledecky told reporters earlier this year regarding the event.

The 27-year-old is a seven-time Olympic gold medalist and 10-time medalist overall, making her arguably the greatest female swimmer in history and one of the most decorated athletes in her sport, period.

So nobody would be surprised if she made her mark in Paris, perhaps even in the 400m free.

"She's very capable. I see it in practice all the time," Anthony Nesty, the men's Olympic swimming coach and Ledecky's personal coach at the Gator Swim Club, told Dave Sheinin of the Washington Post. "Personally, I think she's due for a really good 400. Because the last two years, they've been good, but not at a level she wants to compete at. I think she's well overdue for putting one together."
