Instead, we are in a competition lull and hopeful that the Games will be held next summer, with COVID-19 neutralized.<\/p>\n<p>As we reach the nine days over which the swimming competition of a delayed Olympiad would have taken place, Swimming World is taking a glimpse at what might have unfolded this summer, had the Olympics not been postponed.

Kraemer<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Pellegrini has won medals in the 200 freestyle at the past eight World Championships, but she failed to medal at the last two Olympiads. Her ability to come back on the field is a true weapon, even with distance aces like Ledecky and <strong>Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> climbing the blocks. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sarah-sjostrom-on-training-in-lockdown-free-sweden-on-eve-of-now-delayed-europeans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong><\/a> has the most pure speed of the bunch.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprising, Titmus and Ledecky sought to apply pressure from the start, along with Sjostrom. These tactics were largely expected, as the American and Aussie like to attack their races and trust their training to retain back-end endurance, while Sjostrom relied on her natural speed, which can overshadow her finishing prowess in any discipline.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the aforemtioned trio pushing from the starting beep, no one was left out of the medal hunt as the race took shape, a blanket capable of being thrown across the pool. Sjostrom had a slight lead at the 100-meter mark, but Ledecky and Titmus were just hundredths back.<\/p>\n<p>Over the third 50, Pellegrini began to pick up her pace and was moving into a position that made her a dangerous threat. Meanwhile, Ledecky had taken the lead.\u00a0Heading into the final lap, Ledecky had Titmus and Sjostrom on her shoulder, with <strong>Siobhan Haughey<\/strong> and <strong>Emma McKeon<\/strong> now lurking, too. More, Pellegrini was charging and looking to replicate the finish she produced at the 2017 World Championships, when she ran down Ledecky and McKeon over the final 50 meters to go from fourth to the top of the podium. As the wall neared, a 1:53-mid clocking was in the offing, but how the medals would be dispersed was a riddle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tokyo Vision: Katie Ledecky Searching for 200 Free Repeat Against Stacked Field Had the COVID-19 pandemic not shaken the world, the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo would be unfolding right<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7533,"featured_media":363723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122100,10],"tags":[24853,65138,27538,35044,25031,102,32196,34412,58477,124490,70359],"class_list":["post-441028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-features","category-world","tag-allison-schmitt","tag-ariarne-titmus","tag-emma-mckeon","tag-federica-pellegrini","tag-katie-ledecky","tag-olympics","tag-sarah-sjostrom","tag-siobhan-haughey","tag-tokyo-2020","tag-virtual-vision","tag-yang-junxuan"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
