Another dominant win in the 800 free by Ledecky Saturday gave her 16 individual gold medals at the World Championships, breaking a tie with Phelps for the most all-time.
– a 15:26.27 that represented her fastest time at that distance in five years – Ledecky betrayed the slightest bit of disappointment with her winning time in the 800, which was slower than her time at last month’s U.S. Nationals and at the 2022 Worlds in Budapest .“I wanted to be a little bit better, but I’ll take it,” Ledecky, a seven-time Olympic gold medalist, told reporters. “I was probably out a little too fast. It hurt on the back half. But I knew it was my last race.
A year from now, she will head to the Paris Olympics as the clear favorite in both the 800 and 1,500 freestyles, while also hoping to chase down Australia’s Ariarne Titmus in the 400 free, in which Titmus is both the defending Olympic and world champion. “This was a great steppingstone of a meet,” said Ledecky, who has been training with coach Anthony Nesty at the University of Florida since the fall of 2021. “Having improvement off the blocks in pretty much all my events, and feeling like we’re progressing really well in training and in racing… We get back to work in just a couple of weeks.
Aussies won three more golds on Saturday – behind Kaylee McKeown in the women’s 200 back, Cameron McEvoy in the men’s 50 free and a world-record-setting victory in the mixed 4x100 free relay – to give them 13 for the meet, more than triple the total of Team USA, which has four . Australian sprinter Mollie O’Callaghan has been the swimmer of the meet thus far, with five gold medals, four of which were accompanied by world records.
