A four-time Olympian, Ledecky had another standout Games, winning two gold medals in the women’s 1,500- and 800-meter freestyle races, along with bronze in the 400-meter freestyle and silver in the women’s 4x200-meter freestyle relay. With 14 total medals, the 27-year-old swimmer is the most decorated American woman at the Olympics in any sport and the most decorated woman in swimming of all time.
Ledecky did not attend the opening ceremony — where LeBron James and Coco Gauff were the Team USA flag bearers — for the Paris Games on July 26 because her competition schedule began the following day.She’ll be joined by rower Nick Mead, a 29-year-old two-time Olympian who earned his first medal as part of Team USA’s gold medal-winning men’s four. The gold medal was the first for the U.S. in the event since the 1960 Olympics.At the Tokyo Olympics, Mead finished fourth in the men’s eight contest.The closing ceremony is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday.
