<p>Katie Ledecky has a chance to make some history.</p>
<p>More than the history that she's used to making at these international competitions when she sets records with times — though she has the chance to do plenty of that as well. Ledecky currently sits at five Olympic gold medals, putting her three behind Jenny Thompson of the United States for the most gold medals won by a female swimmer in the Olympics. She competes in five events this year, giving her more than enough to surpass Thompson.</p>
<p>But there's more than just that at stake. Should Ledecky claim all five gold medals, she would become only the second swimmer ever to reach double-digit Olympic gold medals, behind just Michael Phelps. </p>
<p>It won't be easy. She's got some tough competition in the 200 meter freestyle with Australian Ariarne Titmus the favorite to win the event and the Australian relay team posing a major threat to the United States on the 4x200 freestyle relay team, but Ledecky should have at least a few gold medals locked up this year. </p>
<p>Sporting News is tracking Ledecky's performance through the Olympics to see how many medals she brings home and what times she is posting in each of these events. </p>
