On Thursday, Katie Ledecky set yet another record when the women’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay team from Team USA took home the silver medal.
With 13 medals, the 27-year-old became the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history. Her most recent victory ended a tie she had with Dara Torres, Jenny Thompson, and swimmer Natalie Coughlin.
In the demanding 1500m freestyle on Wednesday, the Maryland native claimed her eighth gold medal and her 12th overall. Ledecky tied Thompson for the most gold medals won by a female swimmer in Olympic history when she completed the event in an Olympic record time of 15:30.02.
Ledecky told reporters that she allowed her thoughts to roam and considered all the people who had contributed to her current situation as she was swimming.
“And during the race, I kind of let my mind wander, remembering everyone who has trained with me.” Was like thinking about them and chanting their names in my brain. I love you guys, my Florida crew—all those Florida boys who challenged me every day. I know I often make your life difficult, but you guys really made my life easy today. I really appreciate it.
The 27-year-old swimmer had another opportunity to increase her medal total on Thursday.
Ledecky, Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, and Erin Gemmell represented Team USA in the 4 × 200m freestyle relay, finishing second behind Australia.
Ledecky became the most decorated American woman in Olympic history and the most decorated woman of any nation in swimming history with the team’s victory, which brought her 13 medals overall. She is only ahead of Michael Phelps, who has 28 medals.
Ledecky has one more chance to increase her medal total as swimming draws to a close. On Saturday, she’ll participate in the 800m freestyle.
Ledecky intends to qualify for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, despite the fact that this is her fourth Olympics overall, in Paris.
“Yes, my statement that I would love to compete in Los Angeles hasn’t changed over the last few months or years has been consistent.”
Katie, congratulations! You are history’s greatest.
Be prepared for a surprise: Reality star weighing 600 pounds wed in a daring wedding dress
Tammy Slayton, who is overweight, opted to wear an open dress.
Tammy and Emmy Slayton are the stars of the well-known American reality show “1,000 Pound Sisters,” which follows two teenagers who are dangerously obese.
They are currently 34 and 35 years old, respectively. Up until a few years ago, they consented to broadcast their daily lives to millions of viewers in the hopes of becoming in shape and beginning to live life to the fullest.
For three seasons, the sisters struggled with their addictions and with themselves. Amy, who is losing weight and requesting surgery, was the sibling who experienced the most success.
Amy and Tammy were both at 185 and 275 kg at the time of shooting (of which Amy had already lost roughly 50 kg). In contrast to her sibling, she has gained weight and is currently close to three hundred pounds. Tammy’s health naturally soon deteriorated, and she was sent to an Ohio medical rehabilitation facility that specialized in treating obese individuals.
She is currently receiving care at the clinic for her weight loss and the pulmonary issues that her fat-related obesity caused. Tammy still feels very strongly about her life’s mission. She routinely posts funny videos to her social media accounts, updates her fans on her health, and reassures her followers that everything is well.
At the treatment center is where Tammy first met her fiancé, Caleb Willingham. That encounter marked the beginning of the only relationship she has ever experienced that wasn’t based on internet dating. The man proposed to her there after they had already staged a wedding there, where they had first met.
Many of the concerns they share may be discussed with one another. They help each other a lot now, they really do. The pals of the couple say it’s amazing.
The intimate wedding was attended by just the bride’s closest relatives and friends. This included Amy, the sister of the bride, who had lost weight and as a result was already married and had a kid.
