Katie Ledecky's historic career is still far from over.
After winning gold in the 800m freestyle -- her final race in Tokyo -- the 24-year-old confirmed she wants to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"That was not my last swim," Ledecky said. "I'm at least going to '24, maybe '28. We'll see. You never take anything for granted. You don't know if you're gonna be back at the next Olympics, so you just try to soak it all in."
