Katie Ledecky Qualifies for 2nd 2024 Olympics Event, Wins 200m Freestyle at US Trials

Katie Ledecky has qualified for her second Olympic event after winning the women's 200m freestyle final Monday night.

Ledecky finished first with a time of 1:55.22, just beating runner-up Claire Weinstein. Ledecky, who has won six gold medals and 10 total medals across three Olympic appearances, also qualified for the 400m on Saturday.

Having already qualified for the 200m and 400m, Ledecky will also participate in the 800m and 1500m time trials this week.

Now, fans await Ledecky's decision about whether she will swim in the event or just participate in the relays. According to The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach, Ledecky said she is "thrilled" to be on the relay team, which seems to indicate she will at least be on the relay team.

At the most recent Olympics in 2021, Ledecky won gold in the 800m and 1500m freestyle and won silver in the 400m freestyle and 4 x 200m freestyle relay. Her best Olympic showing remains her 2016 performance, when she won gold in the 200m, 400m and 800m freestyle as well as the 4 x 200m freestyle relay. That year, she also won silver in the 4 x 100m freestyle relay.

She will look to continue what has been a sensational Olympic run this summer.
