Taylor Ruck!!!  Ledecky lost again over 200m Free (she was 3rd, beaten not only by Ruck, by also by Ikee)...even if we have to say that she swam 8.09 over the 800m Free half an hour before swimming the 200m...

 

meanwhile, Cate Campbell swam 50.9 in the anchor leg of the Mixed Medley Relay (Caeleb Dressel swam 50.50 in the Fly leg for the USA)...

Ledecky did swim the 800 beforehand, people shouldn't be glorifying her loss that much.

So?  They were on different styles and Dressel would put on her 4-5 seconds on the freestyle h2h.

This is why I like the Mixed Relay format

Yes, I also love formats where it's near impossible to follow what's going on and who is actually doing well or not without thinking "they are ahead, so they are in best position".

so, nothing...

I was just reporting the best results of the day (and Campbell's time is one of them) and some other clockings by the most famous swimmers competing in Japan this week (and Dressel is surely one of those)...

there was no comparison at all between their results (I think you should know that I'm not a fan of certain events and I'm experienced -old- enough to avoid certain "impossible" comparisons...

 

p.s. I forgot to mention also the 4.07 by Kalisz in the men's 400 IM from today's action...
