U.S. swimmer Katie Ledecky’s trip to Tokyo has been one bumpy ride. On Wednesday, she failed to even medal in the 200-meter freestyle, which was won by Australian Ariarne Titmus. But at the next event, the 1,500-meter freestyle, Ledecky was good as gold for the first time in these Games.

Ledecky had five gold medals to her name coming into Tokyo.
