Did Ledecky start to use leg kick only in the last 50 m? It sure looked like it.

Great race by Quadarella,  only the last turn was decisive for Ledecky to win it all

I appreciate effort. I don't appreciate Israel. At all. I'm biased, I know.

Quadarella looks really sadly for the silver... Btw, amazing medal.

Oh, same here. The only things I like about Israel are the ancient archeological sites and stuff like that, like in Syria and pretty much the entire Middle East

Masse now ties Pickrem for most individual medals at the WCs.  But Masse has 2 golds, so technically ahead.  Until tomorrow (hopefully) where Pickrem has a good chance in the 400 IM.  

 

Edit: Most individual medals for Canada.

I'm intrigued by the language. Hebrew and Arabic are very complex and I love unorthodox languages. But I guess my brain can't respond anymore after many years of Japanese classes. I've reached my limit.

Amazing race by Quadarella. I love that she went all in and tried to win gold, even risking to blow up completely in the process.

Ledecky was obviously not at her best, but she’s such a champion.

Bianchi looked like 1.48m compared to the guys
