Tokyo Olympics: Swimming Day 3, July 26 – Adam Peaty yet another step away from Olympic glory and will the Katie Ledecky show continue in the Final? – Preview, Schedule, Live Streaming, Where to Watch
Adam Peaty and Katie Ledecky will be looking to win the second consecutive Olympic gold medals in their disciplines
Champion Swimmers Katie Ledecky, Kaylee McKeown, Ariarne Titmus, and Lydia Jacoby continue to exceed expectations in their respective disciplines on Day 2 of Swimming Heats at the Tokyo Olympics. Ledecky finished first in Women's 400m Freestyle Heats and with a gold medal all but assured, she will have one eye on breaking her own World Record and Olympic Record which she set at the Rio Olympics.
Kaylee McKeown has already broken her Olympic Record in the Heats in Tokyo but not before it passed several hands. In Women's 100m Backstroke, Kylie Masse first broke McKeown's Olympic Record. Her record stood for a matter of minutes as US swimmer Regan Smith scripted another record in the next round of heat. McKeown, who had been watching it all unfold, didn't want to miss out on the action and took back her Olympic record with a time of 57.88s during her Heat.
Current World Record holder in Men's 100m Backstroke endured a tough time as he finished eighth during the Heats. Lilly King also didn't perform up to the mark and was outdone by Tatjana Schoenmaker who set a new Olympic Record in Women's 100 Back with a time of 1:04.82. Fellow American swimmer Lydia Jacoby also finished ahead of King.
