Nanterre, France CNN —When you’re the most decorated women’s swimmer in history, it’s a little difficult to keep topping yourself. It’s the way she’s doing them. In this particular race, the focus was on Ledecky and Titmus from the jump. Within the first 100 meters of the race, Ledecky led Titmus by a head. The noise grew as they neared the wall, and Ledecky hit the wall 1.25 seconds ahead of her Australian nemesis.

The women’s 400-meter freestyle race, billed as a rematch between rivals Ariarne Titmus of Australia and Katie Ledecky of the US, was one of the most hotly anticipated contests of the first full day of competition in the Paris Games. Titmus had defeated Ledecky three years ago in Tokyo, handing the American her first ever individual Olympic defeat. While the 400m is not Ledecky’s best race, she finished ahead of Titmus in a semifinal heat. “Ariarne and Summer swam really, really well. Titmus, meanwhile, will race in the 200-meter freestyle and Ledecky will also compete in the 1,500-meter freestyle – another one of her top events.

AdvertisementAustralian Ariarne Titmus, 23, is the defending Olympic gold medalist in the event and the favorite entering Saturday’s competition. American Katie Ledecky, 27, took gold in the 400 free in the previous Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Plus, the field includes 17-year-old Canadian phenom Summer McIntosh, who set the world record in the event in 2023 before Titmus re-set it. With none of the runners-up in view, Ariarne Titmus reaches for gold in the women’s 400-meter freestyle at the 2023 world championships.
