U.S. swimmer Katie Ledecky reminded the world that two American Olympic legends are competing in this year’s games in Paris. After the world saw gymnast Simone Biles dominate on Tuesday, Ledecky won her eighth gold medal in her career on Wednesday.

Ledecky turned in a masterful performance in Wednesday’s 1,500-meter freestyle competition. She set an Olympic record, finishing the event in 15:30.02, an astounding ten seconds of her next closest competitors, France’s Anastasiia Kirpichinikova, who finished in 15:40.35, and Germany’s Isabel Gose, who finished in 15:41.16.
