Follow here for the latest news, updates, results and highlights from the Paris Summer Olympics on Day 1.
The medal-count math for Katie Ledecky now requires fingers and toes. The 27-year-old swimmer is now the owner of 11 Olympic medals. Her third-place finish in the women’s 400-meter freestyle earned her a spot on the podium, though not her preferred position. In what many billed as the “race of the century,” Australia’s Ariarne Titmus did not disappoint, pulling away from the field and defending her Olympic title with a time of 3 minutes 57.
35 mark she posted at last month’s U.S. trials but more than enough to earn her yet another trip to the Olympic medals podium. Jenny Thompson’s 12 Olympic medals are the most by any female swimmer. Ledecky, appearing in her fourth Olympics, has a chance to tie that figure Wednesday when she competes in the women’s 1,500 freestyle, a race in which she’s heavily favored, and surpass it Thursday when she’s expected to compete in the women’s 4x200 freestyle relay.
