    It's time for one of the greatest swimmers in the world to chase more gold in the pool.

    Katie Ledecky is set to start her 2024 Paris Olympics campaign Saturday at the Paris La Défense Arena. It will be the first of three individual events Ledecky will compete in for this year's Olympics, as well as the 4x200 relay team. Saturday could kickstart what could be a historic Summer Games for Ledecky; if she's able to win at least three gold medals this year, she will join Michael Phelps as the only Olympians to ever win at least 10 gold medals.

    With swimming about to be underway, here's what's on deck for Ledecky.
