It stood in stark contrast to her first race, the 400-meter freestyle, which she won by a whopping five seconds.
Over the final 50 meters, Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom gave Ledecky a run for her money, speeding up to almost get parallel with Ledecky before Ledecky used a final burst to win the race.
Afterward, Ledecky spoke with NBC's Michelle Tafoya, and when asked about Sjostrom's near comeback, offered a great perspective.
"That's the closest I've come to having to throw up in a race," Ledecky said.
