Katie Ledecky stubbornly refused to give up his 800 -meter free -style crown on Saturday in the Singapore World Championship, winning that race for a seventh consecutive time and defending the summer McIntosh of Canada that led a field of talented young and talented usurpers.
When Maryland’s native triumphantly touched the wall first, she obtained her seventh consecutive 800 free title in World Meets dating from 2013.
The niece of the co -owner of the islanders of New York, Jon Ledecky, has also been dominating the 800 free in the Olympic Games, after having won the gold in this race in the 2012 Games in London, 2016 in Rio, 2021 in Tokyo and last summer near Paris.
She is the only woman to win the same individual event in Four Olympics, in any sport. The only other swimmer who achieved an American legend Michael Phelps, who took the 200 individual pot in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016.
At 28, Ledecky was the oldest swimmer in the countryside and surpassed its youngest and most fierce competitor, the 18 -year -old Toronto Mcintosh.
The invincibility of Ledecky Air of 800 was abolished last year when McIntosh, 17, beat the American in the South South South South championship in the southern zone in Orlando, Florida, on February 8.
The Canadian prodigy chose not to swim in 800 in France to concentrate on other events. He took gold in the 200 butterflies, 200 individual potpourri and 400 individual pots to become one of the stars last summer.
If McIntosh assumes 800 free in Los Angeles, Saturday’s race was a tempting view of what could be reserved for 2028.
