 Katie Ledecky
And this is not an individual practice session:  15 for 15 in individual events at major international competitions. Hard to remember the last time seeing someone lapped the field like this.

 Re: Katie Ledecky
She's awesome!  she still has the 1500m still to race. Most likely best her own world record again.

 Re: Katie Ledecky
Women's 1500 isn't in the Olympics unfortunately. Basically 800 is supposed to be the women's distance event, while the men don't do 800 but do 1500

 Re: Katie Ledecky
...is an insane beast just like Phelps.
Her finish in the 800m last night was ASTOUNDING. Like, holy crap.
And they both come from the DC-ish area! So much pride.
