Katie Ledecky Qualifies for 2024 Olympics with 400m Freestyle Win at US Swim Trials

Make it four Olympics for Katie Ledecky.

The legendary United States swimmer qualified for the Paris Games on Saturday after winning the 400m freestyle at the U.S. Trials.

Ledecky finished with a time of 3:58.35 and is expected to also qualify in the 1500 and 800 freestyle, where she'll arguably be the favorite to win gold as the current world-record holder in those events.

She won't hold that distinction in the 400m free—Australia's Ariarne Titmus beat her in the event at the Tokyo Games and is the current world-record holder—but Ledecky will be expected to podium, given her pedigree.
