TOKYO - Round two of the Katie Ledecky v Ariarne Titmus rivalry lights up the pool at the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday as the U.S. great seeks to add two more gold medals to her career collection of five.
Ledecky starts off with the 200m freestyle, an event for which the reigning champion qualified third fastest with Australia's Titmus leading the way, and returns just over an hour later for the 1,500m free. The shorter race will be the second big battle between the American and her 400m nemesis, with Titmus lining up in lane four as favourite for her second gold of the Games.More Related News
