Fans will have to wait longer for Kate Ledecky to win her first gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The highly decorated swimmer failed to reclaim the gold medal in the women’s 400-meter freestyle on Saturday afternoon at París La Défense Arena, as Australia’s Ariarne Titmus took home first place again after winning the gold at Tokyo in 2021.The Olympics always have a promising showdown between the U.S. and Australia in the pool, and Saturday didn’t disappoint in the close race that saw Titmus, 23, lead alongside Canada’s Summer McIntosh, 17, at the start with Ledecky trailing.
McIntosh was a top contender to win should Ledecky and Titmus have faltered, and she finished with silver at 3:58.37.Titmus holds it at 3:55.38, which she recorded in 2023.
