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."

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.
