Katie Ledecky just obliterated the 1500 SCM free world record by nearly 10 seconds with a time of 15:08.24.
With a split of 8:00.58 at the halfway point, she almost broke the 800 free world record in the process 🤯
16 years ago today, Michael Phelps broke the World Record in the 400 IM in 4:10.73, beating his own mark of 4:11.09. By the time he was done, he had lowered that record to 4:03.84, where it still stands today.

Thank you to all who gave me the opportunity. Asante.

This is Willard Lamb. He’s 95 years old. He went 1 min 37 sec in the 100 free. He broke the National Record by 30 sec. I want to be him when I grow up.

Texas senior Brendan McCourt went his entire college career without a win.
No Big 12 big titles. No invite victories. Not even a dual meet W.
Until Wednesday. Now he's a Big 12 Champion.
Quitting is easy. Keep fighting. Give yourself the chance to shock the world.
