Katie Ledecky’s 1500m victory was her 15th individual title at the world championships and equaled the mark set by Michael Phelps.
“The last couple of years I’ve just tried to be really locked in on my stroke,” Ledecky said, improving quickly post-pandemic. “That was a really good performance from me -- very pleased.”
Ledecky will compete in the 800 on Saturday — her favorite race — and is set to become the only person to win six titles at the worlds in the same event. “It’s awesome to go against a great field, and it’s awesome to get two Americans on the podium,” Murphy said. “The USA is off to a start. We’re starting to build some momentum and we can just keep it rolling from here.”
“It felt awful,” Popovici said.“ But that means that we can improve something and that’s a good thing. Because if you have the absolute perfect race ... you have nothing else to improve.Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania captured gold in the women’s 100 breaststroke in 1:04.62, ahead of Tatjana Schoenmaker of South Africa and third-place Lydia Jacoby of the U.S. World-record holder Lilly King was fourth. The American finished in 1:06.02.
