The List

In 2012, Katie Ledecky competed in her first Olympics at just 15 years old, killing it in the 800m freestyle and bringing home the gold for Team USA. At the time of writing, she currently boasts 14 Olympic medals, eight of which are gold, effectively making history as the first American woman to have won that many. "I know that there are only a handful of people that have won that many golds, or that number of medals," Ledecky acknowledged after bagging her 14th (via TIME). "I never pictured myself being in this position."
