Katie Ledecky continues to shatter records.
With the U.S. capturing silver in the 4x200m freestyle relay final on Thursday, Ledecky captured her 13th career Olympic medal, more than any American female in history.
It’s the third medal of these games for Ledecky, who took gold in a dominating 1500m freestyle performance, and earned bronze in the 400m freestyle.

This is Ledecky’s third medal in the relay; the Americans took gold in the event in 2016 and silver at the delayed Tokyo Games three years ago.
The American team of Ledecky, Westchester native Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden and Erin Gemmell finished with a time of 7:40.86, beating out China, which took bronze with a time of 7:42.34.
