TOKYO, July 29 — An authoritative Katie Ledecky powered to the fastest time in the women’s 800m freestyle heats today ahead of fatigued rival Ariarne Titmus who is gunning to steal a third Olympic title from the American star.
And she has imposed her will on the rest of the world over 800m since 2012, winning the last two Olympics and four straight world championships. Both of them were backing up from the 4x200m relay in the morning, where China sensationally won in a world record time ahead of the United States and Australia.“I’ve got a whole day off now, just like everyone. I’m going to try to use it as a little reset.”
He is widely expected to earn another in the 100m fly, with no other active swimmer close to his 49.50 world record.
