Commonwealth Games: Australian Women Dominate 400 Medley Relay to Cap Off Dominant Week

In almost every swimming event this week at the Commonwealth Games, the Australian women were simply too strong for every other nation. The Aussies won gold in 12 out of 19 events in Birmingham, England, including a sweep of all five freestyle events where only one podium finisher out of 14 was a non-Australian and a sweep of the three women’s relays. In that final relay, the 400 medley, Canada’s Kylie Masse led Australia’s Kaylee McKeown to the 50-meter mark, but McKeown took over around the 75 and pulled away.

Katie Ledecky came to U.S. Nationals with hopes of swimming a best time. Ledecky’s standard in her signature events is ridiculously high, as she is the world-record holder in the 800 and 1500 freestyle, the second-fastest swimmer in history in the 400 free and fourth all-time in the 200 free. But with Ledecky taking on a handful of off-events this week, she was understandably excited about the opportunity to swim faster than ever before.
