As Katie Ledecky returns for another Olympics, here's everything you need to know about her dominant career

Katie Ledecky is back for a fourth Olympics this summer, where she’ll attempt to add even more medals to her already historic swimming career.

Ledecky, who is one of the best female swimmer in American history, is entering the Paris Games with seven gold medals and three silver medals to her name. She’s set plenty of world records and knocked off the then-world champion Kate Ziegler in her Olympics debut when she was just 15 years old.

Now at 27, Ledecky will open the Olympics on the first day of competition Saturday in the women’s 400-meter freestyle.
