Katie Ledecky withdrew from the 200 and 1,500 meters freestyle game, and she may leave these championships without adding to her haul of 14 world titles. FMTNews

GWANGJU: Katie Ledecky’s withdrawal from the 200 and 1,500 meters freestyle put a huge dampener on the third day of the world swimming championships in Gwangju with a major question mark now hanging over the unwell American for the rest of the meet.

In the Olympic champion’s absence, Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom was quickest in the 200 heats in 1:55.14 with Titmus and world record holder Federica Pellegrini also moving through to the semis.“I feel like when I do 200 free in my program I become a little bit tougher,” she said. “Like if I know I can handle the 200 free I can handle the other events easier.”

While Ledecky is feeling under the weather, Olympic breaststroke champion Adam Peaty sounds like he could run through brick walls. There was a low-key return to the pool for 400 freestyle silver medalist Mack Horton, who on Sunday refused to share the podium with China’s Sun Yang over his doping record.
