Katie Ledecky Dominates World Swimming Championships with Historic Race

Katie Ledecky is set to compete in the highly anticipated 400m freestyle final at the world swimming championships, which will feature a showdown between Ledecky, Ariarne Titmus, and Summer McIntosh. This race marks the first time in a major championship final since 2012 that the last three world record holders in one Olympic program event will meet.
