She can do the distances forever if you ask me
GOAT OF GOATS
No way she retires with the Olympics coming to the US next. She's only 27. And she's tied for 1st now in golds all time for a woman, she won't get another one here.
She needs to do another edition to break the record.

There's only two athletes in this Olympics with 4 medals and she's one of them. The other is the French male swimmer who has won 4 gold medals.
Ariarne Titmus has 4 medals too

Yea. When I posted that it was before the 800m race for Titmus and Ledecky.

Leon Marchand (France) 4 gold
Summer McIntosh (Canada) 3 gold, 1 silver
Ariarne Titmus (Australia) 2 gold, 2 silver
Katie Ledecky (USA) 2 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze

Seriously lol. It stresses me out. You live your entire life training for your event and the whole thing is over in 10 seconds.

That said, the training leading up to the events would be a lot less boring than that for swimmers. It takes a special type of person to stay motivated with the monotony of training. I did the morning training for a short while in my early teens. It’s not fun.

Oh ok haha. I assembled a standing desk and have some mystery extra screws left over and a pulled muscle in my back I didn't know existed and I've pulled plenty of muscles over the years. That mofo was HEAVY. But it works so.... Yeah some IPA and some more IPA and here I am rambling in the wrong thread because I can't find the right one.
Please excuse me.......
