Ledecky had to fight to not finish outside the podium 

 

Titmus!

Finally the WC break for Sharon van Rouwendaal. As per usual,  salvaging what little is left in the marathon tournament. Happy to see her on top form on the Olympic distance again.

 

She was a bit helped by Cunha and Beck battling it out together, but that's what can happen in a three-way race to the finish.

Yeah, the finish was very exciting. The first 3 women finished within 1 second from each other after 10k.  

 

My meeting at work was about to start at 10:00 and meetings with Dutch and German colleagues always start right on time., but I saw how tight the race was and the finish was at 10:03 or something like that, so I made ten people in the meeting wait for me with some stupid excuse, just so I could watch the finish.

What a Championships for

Damn, Julie Kepp is consistent on that 50m backstroke!

I was scrolling through the results just now  and came here to see if anyone else had noticed. 

 

28,01 in the semi-finals, then 28,01 in the swim-off and then 28,01 in the final. That’s impressively consistent.

And Ranomi took her world record back. First woman ever to swim sub 23 seconds!

This looks like another gold!?!

[Dennis 746]

No medals in the pool for us, but a gold in marathon swimming makes up for a lot!

 

What a great performance from Sharon! 

[Dennis 746]

A Greek gold medal!

If by "ready to compete against" you mean "ready to qualify for the final and be in the same race", then yes

Haha, yeah,  is too good, but hopefully another medal.

Easy win for the Dutch girls, showing they're ready to compete against the top favorites  in Rio.
