Some events have better rivalries. But when it comes to the 800-meter freestyle, it can be argued that <strong>Katie Ledecky\u2019s<\/strong> prowess is the finest artistry in the sport. Want to debate that statement? Ok. Start with fighting the fact that Ledecky owns the 22-fastest performances in the history of the event.<\/p>\n<p>As the first stop of this season\u2019s TYR Pro Swim Series wrapped up on Saturday night, Ledecky painted another of her superb portraits, covering her latest 800 freestyle in 8:14.95. That time, while 10 seconds off her world record of 8:04.79, sits just outside the top-25 marks of all-time. More, Ledecky is just one of four women to ever crack the 8:15 barrier, and she routinely achieves that feat during these in-season competitions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SVGBpHPge5Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_284290\" style=\"width: 282px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-284290\" data-attachment-id=\"284290\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/tyr-pro-series-ordinary-day-as-katie-ledecky-goes-814-95-in-800-free\/dsc_0651\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0651.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2475,2037\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5100&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1489620150&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;220&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Katie Ledecky\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;2\/7\/18&lt;br \/&gt;\nDSC_0651&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Dan D&#8217;Addona&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0651-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0651-1024x843.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-284290\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC_0651-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0651\" width=\"272\" height=\"194\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-284290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Dan D&#8217;Addona<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Competing in her first meet of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.olympic.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olympic<\/a> tuneup season, Ledecky complemented earlier victories in the 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle and served noticed that she is headed into 2020 with some momentum. That the five-time Olympic champion is in good form is in stark contrast to how she concluded her summer, when an ill-timed sickness sapped her energy and disrupted her performances at the World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>The only comparable dominance to what Ledecky boasts in the 800 freestyle is that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/adam-peaty-a-record-third-title-in-pantheon-and-james-wilby-punch-great-britain-1-2-at-world-championships-race-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Britain\u2019s <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong><\/a>, he of another realm in the 100-meter breaststroke. Like Ledecky, Peaty stands alone, having produced the 17-quickest efforts of all-time. When in peak form, neither Ledecky nor Peaty can be touched, and Ledecky showed a few months back that even in a subpar state, she can still top the world in the event in which she emerged as a 15-year-old Olympic champion in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>It was a few months ago at the World Championships in which Ledecky was stymied by a gastrointestinal bug that knocked her to the deck. After suffering an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ariarne-titmus-takes-katie-ledeckys-crown-with-thunder-from-down-under-finish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">upset defeat<\/a> to rising Aussie star <strong>Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> in the 400 freestyle, Ledecky was forced to withdraw from the 200 freestyle and 1500 freestyle. Yet, before the World Champs ended, Ledecky dug deep to take to the blocks in the 800 freestyle and found a way to fend off Italian <strong>Simona Quadarella<\/strong> for a fourth consecutive title. The effort \u2013 produced at a percentage of her full power \u2013 only reinforced the gap between Ledecky and her foes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_399506\" style=\"width: 256px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-399506\" data-attachment-id=\"399506\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/national-treasure-dawn-fraser-named-42nd-swimming-australia-life-member\/e9c7a083bb9eddfa469eace6f249ffc8\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/e9c7a083bb9eddfa469eace6f249ffc8.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Dawn Fraser\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Dawn Fraser &#8211; a proud Australian.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Dawn Fraser &#8211; Photo Courtesy: Dawn Fraser Collection&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/e9c7a083bb9eddfa469eace6f249ffc8-700x500.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/e9c7a083bb9eddfa469eace6f249ffc8-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\" wp-image-399506\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/e9c7a083bb9eddfa469eace6f249ffc8-700x500.jpeg\" alt=\"Olympic gold and a Kangaroo in her pouch\" width=\"246\" height=\"176\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-399506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dawn Fraser &#8211; Photo Courtesy: Dawn Fraser Collection<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Shift back to the present and Ledecky is off to a promising start in the chase for a third straight Olympic crown in the 800 freestyle.

Meanwhile, Lochte is working through heavy training in the hunt for his fifth Olympic invitation. Never one to race quickly outside of the championship season, Lochte embraced a full schedule in Greensboro, his eyes set on a later payoff.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTo go that time right now in November is awesome,&#8221; Foster said. &#8220;I think I got a little extra pump from racing those guys.
