Katie Ledecky is not going anywhere.
Ledecky took home a gold medal in the women’s 800m freestyle on Saturday, ending her stint at the Tokyo Olympics. But in an interview after the race, the 24-year-old American confirmed that Saturday’s event would not be her last Olympic competition.
“That wasn’t my last swim,” Ledecky told NBC, laughing. “I’ll at least go to 24, maybe 28. We’ll see. You don’t take anything for granted. You don’t know if you’ll be back at the next Olympics, so you just have to try to suck it all in.”
Ledecky came onto the Olympic scene when she was 15, and won a gold medal in the 800m freestyle at the London Olympics in 2012. Since then, she has cemented her place as the world’s number one swimmer, earning four additional gold medals in the Rio 2016.
In Tokyo, she won a pair of gold and a pair of silver, and also became the first swimmer to win the 800m freestyle in three consecutive Olympics.
