The loss for the 24-year-old Ledecky was not entirely unexpected, as Titmus, 20, has been gaining on her the past few years. With five Olympic gold medals and 15 world championship titles, Ledecky remains the most decorated female swimmer of all time.
Ledecky still has the 200, 800 and 1,500 freestyle events remaining, and the U.S. women’s 4x200 relay. She is heavily favored to win gold in the 800 and 1,500.
The U.S. women’s beach volleyball duo of Kelly Claes and Sarah Sponcil defeated Latvia in their first match of the pool round 2-1 on Monday.
