PARIS -- Katie Ledecky is now the most decorated American woman in Olympic history.

With a silver medal Thursday in the 4x200 meter relay, Ledecky won her 13th medal, breaking a tie with swimmers Natalie Coughlin, Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres.

Ledecky also has eight golds -- one shy of the Olympic record for female athletes, held by Larisa Latynia, a gymnast from the Soviet Union whose final Olympics was in Tokyo (1964).

Ledecky has one more individual event to go in Paris: the women's 800-meter freestyle, with qualifying Friday and the final on Saturday.

But she has no plans on stopping. After dominating the 1,500-meter freestyle Wednesday, the 27-year-old Ledecky said she has no plans to quit anytime soon and that she hopes to compete for Team USA at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Ledecky and her teammates were not able to upset Australia in the women's 4x200 meter freestyle relay on Thursday, however. The Aussies, led by Mollie O'Callaghan and Ariarne Titmus, set an Olympic record of 7:38.24 to earn the gold.

China won the bronze.
