Ledecky, 25, surpassed Belmonte's previous record of 7:59.34 from 2013 by swimming in a time of 7:57.42

The big picture: Ledecky has won four world championships and three Olympic gold medals in the 800 metres

'After last week, I truly pushed myself,' Ledecky apparently told FINA. It's great to have so many fans here to encourage us

"Honestly most of that emotion was just because it hurt a lot so when something hurts that much you want to see a great result like that," Ledecky said

– "I felt good and very pleased with the outcome in both that and the 200m."
