In traditional Katie Ledecky fashion, the greatest of all time dominated the final heat, winning by nearly 20 seconds in 8:12.03. Ledecky was out fast, flipping in 4:02.71 at the halfway point, less than a second faster off of her World Record pace. While she faded over the second half of the race, she still put together a dominant performance.
I don’t get it: the headline discusses 200 FL but none of the content even comes close to mentioning it.
“when i was younger ” how young?? katie you were breaking world records in distance at 15???
Actually disgusting
Anyone think she has an off chance at the American or US open record in either the 4IM or 2Fly?
Nope, but I’m glad she is getting to swim some other events.
Katie – second half of your career is all 200 fly! Go for it!
…… and then Yuri came along.
