Congratulations!! 🥇🥇 Katie Ledecky has passed Michael Phelps for most individual golds at world championships
FUKUOKA, Japan — Here’s why Katie Ledecky is one of the greatest freestyle swimmers in the history of the sport. She’s never quite satisfied.
“I’m pretty tough on myself,” she said. “But I think I have found the balance of being tough on myself but also having that grace.” It was only the fourth gold for the United States in the seventh of eight days in the pool. Meanwhile, Australia has been piling it on with 13 golds, matching its best in the worlds. Australia also won three more golds on Saturday.Kaylee McKeown of Australia made history of her own with gold in the women’s 200 backstroke. McKeown’s victory gave her a sweep of all three backstroke events after earlier wins in the 50 and 100.
Sjoestroem also broke her own record in the 50 freestyle, going 23.61 in a semifinal heat. Her old record was 23.67 set in 2017. The 23-year-old Ikee won six gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and was to be a favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. But she was diagnosed with leukemia in February of 2019. Her comeback continues to resonate with both the Japanese public and her fellow competitors.
Dressell won the event in Tokyo but did not qualify for the American team, taking a little break from the sport. McEvoy’s time was quicker than Dressell’s winning time in Tokyo — 21.07
