Katie Ledecky once again blew her competition out of the water—but her recent finish in the 1500-meter freestyle at the Olympic trials has gone viral for a reason other than yet another win.

Footage of the event posted to social media shows the 10-time Olympic medalist chilling as she has to wait a full 20 seconds for her even her nearest competitor, Katie Grimes, to finish the race behind her.

One video posted to Instagram by Team USA was captioned:

“Katie Ledecky doing @katieledecky things in the 1500m."

You can watch the impressive finish below:

A longer video of the final 100 meters gives you a fuller sense of just how far ahead Ledecky was in relation to all of her fellow competitors:

Needless to say, viewers of this epic finish could not get over the lengthy wait time.

Ledecky finished the event, which took place in Indianapolis on Wednesday, in 15:37.35, making it the fastest time in the world this year, a title previously held by...Ledecky.

The legendary swimmer also holds the world record with a time of 15:20.48, which she set in 2018.

She's also just three medals away from becoming the most decorated American female athlete in Olympic history—a feat that is very possible in Paris.

The Paris Olympics begin on July 26.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
