TOKYO: After booking her place in Olympic history with a record sixth individual gold medal, world swimming's most decorated woman Katie Ledecky is confident there's plenty more to come: and is already talking about a bid to reach the next two Olympics.
"I don't know if even my first Olympic gold has sunk in fully, nine years later, so I think once I eventually retire I'll probably more fully appreciate it all," she said. Ledecky edged further ahead at every turn, shutting down any chance of a late charge from Titmus and finishing over a second ahead in 8:12.57.
"To have the opportunity to go to three now and to win medals and to hear your national anthem play, it's amazing and it's a real treat."The winner of 15 world titles said her sights were on the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and at just 24 years old, she isn't ready to rule out the Los Angeles Games four years after that.
