Hey, a pretty good outing. It's fun to watch athletes excel beyond what anyone would think. . .until they do it. She seems like a pretty good swimmer, eh.

She seems like a pretty good swimmer, eh.

She's not bad.

Katie Ledecky capped another stellar Olympics by becoming only the second swimmer to win an event at four straight Summer Games

And she's the only female of any sport to win 4 straight Olympic golds from the same individual discipline! (While the Olympic 1500m freestyle only debuted in Tokyo)

Ryan Murphy, Nic Fink, Gretchen Walsh and Torri Huske held off China for a winning time of 3:37.43, breaking the mark of 3:37.58 set by Britain when it won gold in the wild and woolly event's Olympic debut three years ago.

Both the US and China went under Britain's world record!

The U.S. bumped its total to six golds, one behind leading Australia with four events remaining Sunday. The Americans are assured of winning the overall medal count with 25.

Go catch Australia with another gold to leave no doubt!
