Katie Ledecky isn't ready to stop chasing gold.

Ledecky said her stance has not changed and she plans on competing in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

"I've been consistent over these last few months and last few years in saying that I would love to compete in L.A. and that hasn't changed," Ledecky told reporters after winning the 1,500-meter freestyle Wednesday. "That could change. I mean, you never know. So, I really just take it year by year at this point and I really haven't thought much beyond this week in terms of what my fall is going to look like, what my next year is going to look like. But yeah, I don't feel like I'm close to being finished in the sport yet."
