Katie Ledecky did on Saturday what she always does – win an 800m freestyle race. But this victory at the US Olympic Swimming Team Trials had added significance. The seven-time Olympic champion became the first woman to win four titles in a single event at the US trials, according to USA Swimming, clocking home in 8:14.12 in Indianapolis, Indiana, to secure Olympic qualification in an event in which she has won gold at the last three Games.
” Ledecky, the 800m freestyle women’s world record holder, was unable to surpass Canada’s Summer McIntosh’s world-leading time this year of 8:11.39. As the owner of 29 of the top 30 fastest women’s 800m freestyle times in history, Ledecky will be favorite to win gold in Paris, but the potential head-to-head against the American and McIntosh is set to be one of the standout races in Paris.
