World Cup In Budapest: Ledecky And His 19 Golds, Now Only Behind Phelps' Record
If not for Katie Ledecky, the United States would have been left without gold on the seventh day of the World Swimming Championships. In an afternoon dedicated essentially to the fast tests (between finals and semifinals, five of 50 meters, one of 100 another of 200 and the mixed 4x100 free relay).
Ledecky, in the 800, added his fourth gold, three individual (400, 800 and 1,500 free) and another group in the 4x200 free relay). Gather 19 World Cup golds. She has left Ryan Lochte behind and is only ahead of Michael Phelps with 26. She continues to swim at very high records, although it is questionable if she will ever surpass herself. Even the most inaccessible and constant champions one day find themselves face to face with their own limits.

At the end of the day, the 800 and the mixed relays were the greatest satisfaction and the greatest disappointment of the Americans. Ledecky, in the lead from the first meter, finished in 8:08.04 and practically took half a pool from the other medalists: the Australian Kia Melverton (8:18.77) and the Italian Simona Quadarella (8:19.00). Instead, the USA mixed relievers lost their world record (3:19.40) and handed it over to Australia (3:19.38) in which the 100 free champion, Mollie OCallaghan, had a starring role. In addition, they only reached bronze, surpassed by Canada.
Again Kristof Milak inflamed the public with his gold in the 100 butterfly with 50.14. This time there was no world record, as in the 200. The absent Caeleb Dressel (49.45) keeps it comfortably. Even so, Milak, European record holder with 49.68, took a walk ahead of Japan's Naoki Mizunuma (50.94) and Canada's Liendo Edwards (50.97).

The pure, pure speed, the 50 free, resolved in the blink of an eye by men of outstanding stature who, after the underwater start, come to the surface to dispatch the test in four strokes, led the British Benjamin Proud to gold (21.32) ahead American Michael Andrew (21.41) and French Maxime Grousset (21.57), already silver in the 100.
Sarah Sjoestroem remains the queen of speed, meeting in the freestyle and butterfly, the fastest styles. Although she could only be silver in the 100 free, she got even in the 50 butterfly. She was the only one who dropped below 25 seconds. Her 24.95 was not far from her world record: 24.43.
The Olympic champion, the Australian Kaylee McKeown, already individual silver in the 200 styles, left them with honey on their lips, in the 200 back (2:05.08) to the American Phoebe Bacon (2:05.12). Further away, the other American, Rhyan White (2:06.96).
