Pretty amazing to break the old world record, but only get silver or bronze.

Very suspect result by China
They had only 1 swimmer make the 200m final and she finished 4th

Results were all over the place.

Ledecky swam a 1:55.21 in the individual final.
They say the flying start (changeover) is worth about 0.3s, so you'd expect her to go 1:54.91.
She brought the Americans home in 1:53.76.

By contrast, Titmus was 1.01 seconds slower (both off the gun).
No way blaming her, potentially shows the impact of her heavy program.

McKeon, Wilson and Neale all swam high 1:55s off the flying start, vs O'Callaghan who did 1:55.11 off the gun in the heat.
Always hard to know what a 17 year old will do, but I wonder if the coach will be wanting another go at picking the final 4.

Pretty ordinary news Boomers starting centre Aron Baynes has been ruled out for the rest of the Olympics with a neck injury.
