Katie Ledecky has come through again winning her second gold medal in Paris in the women's 800-meter freestyle. The U.S. also won gold and a new world record in a relay race, edging out China.
Katie Ledecky has done it again, winning a second gold medal at the Paris Olympics, her ninth career gold. She is the most decorated woman Olympian in history and has carried the U.S. swim team in these Summer Games.
During this race, Titmus pulled within a couple of strokes of Ledecky, but each time the American did not give up and powered through. In the end, Ledecky finished more than a second ahead of the Australian with a time of 8:11.04. Ledecky's win came just moments before a relay team of American men and women seized gold in the 4 by 100 medley finals, narrowly beating a strong Chinese team and setting a new world record.
