No one had come within two seconds of that time since. That all changed Saturday. And Ledecky, naturally, was the one to do it. The American swimming legend broke her own record in the event at the TYR Pro Series in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., finishing in 8:04.12 to beat her previous unmatchable time by over a half-second.

    The International Olympic Committee on Wednesday approved several adds to the Olympic program for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, including more women's teams in soccer and water polo and new events in swimming and other sports. The women's soccer tournament will expand from 12 teams to 16, making it larger than the men's tournament for the first time in Olympic history. The men's tournament - which is for players under 23 years old, with three exceptions per team - will stay at 12 teams.
