Katie Ledecky underlined the opening evening of the 2025 American swimming championships on Tuesday in Indianapolis by threatening the 800 -meter free world record that she set last month in Florida.
LEDECKY was more than a second before its world record rate halfway up the rapid heat of the 800, but it was content to claim the 8: 05.76 competition record. The Olympic gold medalist of nine times has finished 1.64 seconds in its world record – fixing the third fastest time in history – but almost 14 seconds ahead of Claire Weinstein’s finalist.
The winner of each event qualifies for the world aquatic championship from July 11 to August 3 in Singapore, while all second placers also earn places, if there are no more than 26 sex swimmers after all the winners and relay qualifications are counted.
The world record holder Bobby Finke followed Ledecky’s performance by sailing to victory in the 1500 free. Finke, who won the gold medal of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in 14: 30.67, won the victory on Tuesday in 2:48.65 p.m. Texas David Johnston finished second in 14: 57.83.
The final of the evening began with an upheaval while Stanford Rising Junior Caroline Bricker has ahead of the holder of the United States REGAN SMITH record in 200 5 seconds. Bricker dragged almost a second in the last round before hunting Smith in 2: 05.80.
In the final of the 200 male flies, the ex-Georgia Bulldog Luca Urlando was up to his seeded by ahead of Carson Foster with a winning time of 1: 53.42.
Torri Huske, Olympic champion in the title of Fly, presented her versatility by establishing a record of US Open and the meeting in the 100 free with once of 52.43 which preceded Gretchen Walsh (52.78). Simone Manuel, who had the US Open record, finished third.
Jack Alexy de Cal broke the free record of the United States Open 100 in morning prelime in 46.99, then returned in the evening to win the title in 47.17. Patrick Sammon of Arizona State obtained second row in 47.47, pushing Chris Guiliano by 0.02 seconds.
