Nike Vapormax Chine .Some athletes mightve buckled under the pressure.She seemed to thrive on it.The 19-year-old from suburban Washington capped off one of the greatest performances in Olympic history with her fourth gold medal and second world record, shattering her own mark in the 800-meter freestyle Friday night.I just wanted to lay it all out there, Ledecky said.She certainly did that.And more.Ledecky and Debbie Meyers are now the only female swimmers to sweep the three longest freestyle races. Meyers took the 200, 400 and 800 at Mexico City in 1968.She also followed fellow swimmers Amy Van Dyken and Missy Franklin as the only American women to win as many as four golds in a single Olympics. Along with her individual golds, Ledecky also topped the podium with the 4x200 relay.I hit all my goals right on the nose this week, Ledecky said. Im just proud to be part of that history.Four years ago, she seemingly came out nowhere to capture gold as a 15-year-old at the London Games. Then, after her coach moved to the West Coast, Ledecky hooked up with Bruce Gemmell and never missed a beat.She called it a testament to the vision that Bruce and I had three years ago when we set these goals, and we werent going to stop until we met them.As was the case in the 400 free, where she also broke her own world record, Ledecky was merely racing the clock as she powered away from the field to touch in 8 minutes, 4.79 seconds, eclipsing the mark of 8:06.68 that she set at a grand prix meet in Texas back in January.The goal was 8:05 or better, she said.Naturally, she was better.Then, Ledecky played the waiting game, hanging on the rope for a while to let the rest of the field finish.Jazz Karlin finally touched in 8:16.17 to claim the silver, just ahead of Hungarys Boglarka Kapas grabbing the bronze in 8:16.37.Some 23 seconds after Ledecky touched the wall, the last of the eight finalists chugged to the end of the grueling race.Ledecky was barely breathing hard.On the medal stand, though, the emotions swept over her.She broke down in tears, relishing her accomplishments and surely thinking about all the work she put in to make it there.The Olympics are the pinnacle of our sport and I have to wait another four years to have that moment and I just wanted to enjoy it, Ledecky said. The memories mean more than the medals to me.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at

The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Police say a University of Florida football player helped stop the rape of an unconscious woman behind a trash bin outside a bar.Cristian Garcia told First Coast News (
http://fcnews.tv/29Qzrvb ) he was taking out the trash Thursday morning from the bar where he works security when he noticed a couple having sex. He first thought it was consensual, but then saw the woman was unconscious. Garcia said the mans friends were watching the assault, and did nothing to help. The incident was videotaped.Garcia said he and another witness walked up and stopped it.I turned around and pulled the guy by the shoulder and said `Get off. That pretty much ended the situation then, Garcia told The Gainesville Sun (
http://bit.ly/2aiEiER ). He was intoxicated and attempted to throw some punches, but he slipped and busted his face on the wall.Police later arrested Christopher Shaw, 34, and charged him with sexual battery of the 19-year-old victim.Gainesville police spokesman Ben Tobias confirmed that Garcia and Leroyea Simmons helped stop the rape and identified Shaw in a photo line-up.The Associated Press does not generally identify victims of sexual assault.Shaw remains in Alachua County Jail with bail set at $500,000.Garcia, a Miami native who will be a junior, walked on to the team last season after previously woorking in the video department.

He played in one game last season for the Gators, recording two tackles in Floridas 41-7 loss to Michigan in the Citrus Bowl.Garcias intervention in the rape came after a recent spate of sexual assault cases nationally involving student-athletes.On July 15, former Vanderbilt football player Cory Batey was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being convicted of taking part in the gang rape of an unconscious female student in June 2013.Last month, a judge sentenced former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner to six months in jail and ordered him to register as a sex offender for life after a jury convicted him of raping a student behind a campus dumpster in January 2015. Prosecutors had sought a six-year sentence. The lighter sentence prompted charges that the white judge was lenient with Turner, who is white and from a wealthy family, because the judge also played sports at Stanford.Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio -- the son of Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio -- said in an Instagram post (
