In the span of a little over an hour, Ledecky will race the finals of both the women's 200m freestyle and women's 1500m freestyle. The latter of which is taking place for the first time as an Olympic event.

Men's 100m Freestyle - Semifinals
Caeleb Dressel won the first heat in a comfortable 47.23, likely conserving energy for the event final.Â
"I can still clean a lot up, but I'm happy with that," a relaxed Dressel said after. He assured there was still plenty left to give in the final.
It did not stand up as the best time, however. Russian athlete Kliment Kolesnikov – already a silver medalist at these Olympics – won the second heat 0.12 faster than Dressel.
American Zach Apple finished 11th overall and did not advance.

Hong Kong's Siobhan Haughey, who led Titmus by a half-second at the 150 mark, took silver.
Titmus closed with a final split of 28.8 to pass Haughey with 15 meters to go.Â
Canada's Penny Oleksiak, a Rio 2016 gold medalist in the 100 free, took bronze as Katie Ledecky, never seeming to be in contention for the win, finished fifth.

Women's 200m IM - final
A thrilling final came down to the freestyle sprint in the final 50, which went the way of Japanese swimmer Ohashi Yui in 2:08.52, beating out Americans Alex Walsh and Kate Douglass, who rounded out the podium.
Ohashi completed the sweep of the women's individual medley events. The events have been swept by the same swimmer at every Olympics since 1996. The last to do it, Hungary's Katinka Hosszu , also raced in this final, finishing seventh nearly four seconds back.
Women's 1500m freestyle - final
Prepare for 15 minutes of smooth, emphatic dominance as Ledecky races her strongest event.
At world championships and U.S. Trials, Ledecky has demonstrated that she can still crush the field in the 1500 by several seconds even after competing in the 200 free in the same night.
The race for silver could come town to the other American in the race, Erica Sullivan, against Chinese distance specialist Wang Jianjiahe.
