Ledecky out-duels McIntosh in 400m free
Gulf Today
|May 03, 2025
US freestyle great Katie Ledecky posted the second-fastest 400m free time of her storied career on Thursday, clocking 3min 56.81sec to run down Summer McIntosh for a second stunning victory in as many days at the TYR Pro Swim Series meeting in Florida.

Ledecky, who posted the second-fastest,1,500m free time in history on Wednesday, overshadowed the return to action of Paris Olympic star Leon Marchand, who posted a personal best in finishing third in the men’s 400m free in his first competition in four months.
With the World Championships in Singapore coming up July 27-Aug.3, nine-time Olympic gold medallist Ledecky produced the fastest women’s 400m ever in a US pool and her fastest since she set the American record of 3:56.46 in winning Olympic gold in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
"I don't know if I ever thought I would be 3:56 again,” a beaming Ledecky said in a poolside interview. “It wasn't even in my head for tonight for sure.”
