Ledecky beats own record
Print Edition
Katie Ledecky crushed her own women鈥檚 800-meter freestyle world record on Sunday, clocking a stunning 8 minutes, 6.68 seconds to win at the Pro Swim meeting in Austin, Texas.
The 18-year-old American obliterated the previous record of 8:07.39 that she set at the 2015 world championships last August 8 in Kazan, Russia. 鈥淚t was exciting,鈥 said Ledecky, who beat the water in triumph when she saw her time. 鈥淚t鈥檚 always exciting when you can get pushed along by a crowd like this in Austin.鈥 She upstaged superstar Michael Phelps, who blazed to victory in the 200 individual medley to notch his first win over rival Ryan Lochte in the event since the 2012 London Olympics. Phelps, whose 18 Olympic gold medals include three in the 200 individual medley, won in a time of 1:58.00.
