Katie Ledecky broke her own World Record in the 1500M by 5 seconds, basically lapping most competitors

Posted by Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud (aka JoeMetz) May 17 '18, 07:48

15minutes, 20 seconds -- so roughly 1:01 per 100 meter lap.

"After the time trials were complete, Ledecky earned the first place finish with a time 49.40 seconds ahead of Erica Sullivan in second place"

She is unreal. The coverage in Rio where they could scarcely fit the other swimmers in the frame was a wonder. -- nm - Baron Breynolds May 17, 07:52
5 *seconds*?! Holy shit. -- nm - Shaun May 17, 07:49 3
- It's impressive, but it's really only 1/2% of the overall time. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud May 17, 07:51 2
  - But that's relative to the record. She beat the event's competitors by 5%+. Compare that to NASCAR races that end within a car length. -- nm - Max May 17, 23:10
  - Yeah, get back to me when it is at least a couple percent. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 17, 08:00
