GOLD COAST, Australia, August 23.<\/p>\n

While USA\u2019s Katie Ledecky went out like a banshee at U.S. Nationals en route to breaking Federica Pellegrini\u2019s world record of 3:59.15 with her 3:58.86 from Irvine, tonight Ledecky took her record-breaking swim just a bit differently. \u00a0Actually training the world-record pace through the 300, Ledecky came roaring home in 30.33, 29.30 to nearly take the world record under 3:58 with a ridiculously fast 3:58.37 this evening.<\/p>\n

Not only did that swim break Ledecky\u2019s world record, it also smashed the Australian All-Comers record of 4:02.61 set by Laure Manaudou back in 2007, and lowered Ledecky\u2019s Pan Pacs mark of 4:03.09 from this morning.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s little doubt that Ledecky is the best distance freestyler of all time. \u00a0As the world-record holder in the 400-800-1500 free, that\u2019s a pretty strong argument, but her consistency and ability to break a world record at nearly any meet she decides to do it is just remarkable.<\/p>\n

It’s actually Ledecky’s fourth world-record performance of the summer after also taking down the 800 and 1500 freestyle marks at The Woodlands Senior Invite earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

USA\u2019s Cierra Runge took silver in 4:04.55, while New Zealand\u2019s Lauren Boyle placed third in 4:05.33.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s Brittany MacLean (4:05.91), Venezuela\u2019s Andreina Pinto (4:07.51), Australia\u2019s Bronte Barratt (4:10.40), Australia\u2019s Alanna Bowles (4:10.58) and Canada\u2019s Samantha Cheverton (4:12.25) also swam in the historic heat.<\/p>\n

Former World Record Splits:<\/h1>\n

28.03, 57.74 (29.71), 1:27.67 (29.93), 1:57.72 (30.05), 2:27.95 (30.23), 2:58.40 (30.45), 3:29.41 (31.01), 3:58.86 (29.45)<\/p>\n
