Katie Ledecky has fired the first salvo in her duel with Ariarne Titmus, posting the fastest time the preliminaries of the women’s 400-meter freestyle as the swimming competition began at the Paris Olympics
Ariarne Titmus, of Australia, competes during a heat in the women's 400-meter freestyle at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Saturday, July 27, 2024, in Nanterre, France. Katie Ledecky fired the first salvo in her duel with Ariarne Titmus, posting the fastest time the preliminaries of the women's 400-meter freestyle Saturday as the swimming competition began at the Paris Olympics.
“It was good just to have a fast swim in the pool, see how it feels, and I’m excited for tonight,” Titmus said.“The only job for me was just to get in the middle lanes,” Titmus said. "I tried to conserve as much as I could.” The atmosphere was raucous at La Defense Arena in the western Paris suburbs, where a crowd of some 15,000 packed the indoor stadium that is best known as home of famed rugby club Racing 92.
China’s Zhang Yufei was fastest in the prelims of the women’s 100 butterfly at 56.50, while world record-holder Gretchen Walsh of the United States moved on to the semifinals with the fourth-best time of 56.75. Zhang was the silver medalist in this event at the Tokyo Olympics. Michael Palfrey has previously worked with Kim, but Aussie head coach Rohan Taylor said it was “un-Australian” for any of his assistants to be supporting another country's swimmer.
