A loaded field of women entered the pool deck for finals of the women’s 200 free. Katie Ledecky of the USA, Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden, and Emma McKeon of Australia battled from the very beginning for victory. Ledecky made her move on the third length powering ahead of the competition and fending off Sjostrom, stopping the clock at a swift 1:53.73. Ledecky’s gold medal moves her to two thirds of a sweep of the 200-400-800 freestyles, a feat that hasn’t been done since Debbie Meyer did it in 1968.

Despite gaining on Ledecky, Sjostrom was unable to catch her and settled for the silver with a time of 1:54.08.

Australia’s McKeon moved up from one of the outside lanes to claim the bronze with a time of 1:54.92.
