Ledecky and McIntosh compete in the 800m freestyle, which makes one of the most anticipated events of the weekend.

Since Ledecky captured gold at the 800m freestyle at the London 2012 Olympic Games, she was unstoppable in this event. She set the world record at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and spent nine years pursuing her without serious challenges of her competitors. In May, Ledecky unexpectedly broke his record with a time of 8: 04.12 during a meeting of the Tyr Pro Swim series in Fort Lauderdale, proving that his best swimming days are not yet finished.
