12/10. I don’t have any idea how someone can crank out those yards for decades and not totally burn out. Unreal.

The last time she lost at 1500m was 2010 when she was 13. She lost to a 17 year old. *

There have been 5 athletes who have won 4 Olympic gold medals in the same event

Michael Phelps, Al Oerter, Carl Lewis, Mijain Lopez (Greco-Roman wrestling), and Ledecky.

If the 1500m had been an event for women in 2012, she would have almost certainly have achieved this feat for two separate events (she did it in the 800).

Also insane is that, while her forte and greatest dominance is in the distance events, at her peak she was also winning gold medals in the 200 and 400 and at one point was the world record holder in the 400, and she’s won a few medals as part of 4 x100 relays (and more for 4 x 200 relays.)
