American swimmer set a world record in the 1,500-meter freestyle on Saturday night in what was, incredibly, her first competitive event of the season at this week's FINA Swimming World Cup.
The 10-time Olympic medalist, who won her first gold medal as a 15-year-old in her international debut at the 2012 London Olympic Games, finished in 15:08.24, nearly 10 seconds off the previous record set by Germany's Sarah Wellbrock (15:18.01) in 2019.
'I knew that record was within reach just based on some things I've done in training, especially my distance stuff (as it) has felt really good this fall,' Ledecky said from Toronto's Pan Am Sports Centre. 'So I felt locked into the pace.'
