With that win, Katie Ledecky clinches a spot in NASCAR's Chase for the Cup. Will be tough to beat at Homestead.

Katie Ledecky was smiling and celebrating the world record before the silver medalist even finished the race. That’s how far ahead she was.

It's pretty clear that Ledecky is the best female athlete on the planet and the best swimmer of any gender. And she's just 19.

Ledecky just swam 400m like it was nothing and I'm like gasping for air and ready to collapse walking to get a cookie from the cupboard …

If Katie Ledecky played Rose instead of Kate Winslet, Jack would be bouncing his grandkids on his knee right now.
