“I just tried to get out quickly, but comfortable enough that I could go from there,” Ledecky said. “I am happy with the time and happy with swimming.”
“I love this race,” she added. “It was the race that I broke my first world record in 2013. Many great races over the years.”
Ledecky ran her world record pace to 1,250 meters, pushed early by Pallister. It was Ledecky’s second medal in these competitions after taking bronze in the 400 free behind the Canadian summer McINTOSH.
The figures speak with the dominance of Ledecky, the most decorated female swimmer in history that has been at the top for more than ten years.
With the Tuesday swimming she now owns 25 of the top 26 times in history in the 1500. Her time Tuesday was the fifth fastest, not far from her world record of 15: 20.48 in 2018.
It was her 22nd gold medal in a world championships and her 28th general. Add to the nine Olympic gold medals and 14 in general. If you don’t count, they are 42 Olympic and World Medals – 31 gold.
Looking from the stands, the new chairman of the international Olympic Committee Kirsty Coventry was. She was accompanied by former President Thomas Bach. Coventry was an Olympic gold medal winner for Zimbabwe in the 200-meter backstroke in 2004 and 2008.
The Americans had the best qualification times to enter four finals and won one gold and three silver medals with very narrow finishes in all three.
The United States team fought against which civil servants called ‘acute gastro -centeritis’ picked up in a training camp in Thailand before he arrived in Singapore.
The American head coach Greg Meehan said that a large part of the team was directed.
“We take it one day at a time,” he said in an interview with American Network NBC. “It is clear that this is not how we thought the first few days of this competition would go. But I am really proud of our team, our medical staff that works overtime. You don’t want your medical staff to work overtime.”
“If you were in our team, you would never know that the general majority of the team experienced something in recent days,” Meehan added and said that the team was “atmosphere” good.
McINTOSH, who won two gold medals for the first two days, did not raced 3 of the competition on Tuesday. She will be confronted under 800 in the 800, perhaps the most expected race of the worlds.
Parisian Olympic champion David Popovici from Romania won the 200-meter Freestyle, in which he overtaken the American Luke Hobson in the last 50 meters before the victory. Popovici swam 1: 43.53 with Hobson over in 1: 43.84. Tatsuya Murasa from Japan finished third in 1: 44.54.
“I think it was better than the Olympic Games to be honest,” Popovici said about the victory. “You know why? Because I have trained a lot for the Olympic Games. But this is for a more relaxed year, easy year after the Olympic Games. I don’t know. I am very proud of myself.”
Kaylee Mckeown from Australia took the 100-meter backstroke of the ladies and closed the last 50 to beat the American Regan Smith. McKeown ended in 57.16 – only .03 discount on the world record of Smith. Smith finished in 57.35 with bronze for the American Katharine Berkoff in 58.15.
McKeown is the two -time defensive Olympic champion in this race and also in the 200 backstroke. She also beat Smith a year ago in Paris with Smith who took silver.
Pieter Coetze from South Africa represents a new wave of contenders with the 21-year-old who wins the 100-back stroke of the men in 51.85 seconds. Thomas Ceccon from Italy took silver in 51.90, with bronze for Yohann Ndoye-Brouard in 51.92. Ceccon is the world record holder in 51.60.
In the final final of the night, Anna Ellent from Germany swimming from Lane 1-the 100-meter breaststroke of the women in 1: 05.19. American Kate Douglass took silver in 1: 05.27, with bronze for Tang Qianding of China in 1: 05.64.
“I’m so speechless,” said Eleltt.
Germany has piled it up. Lukas Martens took gold in the 400 free on Sunday. Florian Wellbrock also won four gold medals in the open-water events that took place earlier in the championships.
In the semi-final, Luca Urlando of the United States was the top qualification in the 200 fly (1: 52.84), teammate Claire Weinstein led the ladies 200 free (1: 54.69), and China’s Qin Haiyang led the 50-breaststrokones (26.52).
