The women’s 200 free was billed as the event to watch at last summer’s World Championships. Expect the same in Rio. That’s because Sarah Sjostrom—ranked no. 1 in the world at 1:54.34 will be added to the mix: she figures to contest the event for the first time at a major international meet.
She will go up against world champion Katie Ledecky (#2, 1:54.43)—undefeated in her career in World Championship and Olympic finals—along with 2008 Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Federica Pellegrini (#3, 1:54.55), who set her 1:52.98 WR in 2009 in a high-tech suit.
