Katie Ledecky could earn her first gold medal of the 2024 Paris Olympics as the overwhelming favorite in the 1,500-meter freestyle.
The 27-year-old American is undefeated in the 1,500 as a professional. She dominated the U.S. Olympic Trials by 20 seconds. Ledecky, who holds the 19 fastest times in the event's history, is expected to claim the gold medal Wednesday.
The 1,500 final is the culmination of the two-day event, which is split over multiple days due to the length of the race and the endurance it requires. Ledecky swept the prelims Tuesday.
When will Katie Ledecky compete today?
Katie Ledecky will compete in the 1,500-meter freestyle final Wednesday at Paris La Défense Arena. The event will begin at 3:04 p.m. ET.

How many Olympic medals does Katie Ledecky have?
A win Wednesday would give Ledecky 12 medals in her Olympic career. Fellow Americans Dara Torres, Jenny Thompson and Natalie Coughlin also amassed 12 Olympic medals. No American female swimmer has won 13 medals.
Ledecky will have two chances to do just that — first at the 4x200-meter relay and later in the 800-meter freestyle — before the conclusion of the Paris games.
