This is the Swim Poll of the Week for Friday, August 13, 2021, sponsored by Strechcordz Swim Training Products<\/a>. In our last poll, we wanted to know:\u00a0Who was the top female swimmer of the Tokyo Olympics?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The five candidates for that position were the five women who each won two individual gold medals at the Olympics. Three of those five were Australian:\u00a0Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> dethroned\u00a0Katie Ledecky\u00a0<\/strong>with the second-fastest time in history in the 400 freestyle, and she also took gold in the 200 free along with an 800 free relay bronze.\u00a0Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> secured gold medals in both backstroke events while leading off Australia’s gold-medal winning 400 medley relay.\u00a0Emma McKeon<\/strong> became the first female swimmer from any country to win seven medals in one Olympics, with golds in the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle plus the 400 free and medley relays, and McKeon also won a trio of bronze medals (100 butterfly, 800 free relay, mixed 400 medley relay).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ledecky swam the second-fastest time of her career in taking silver in the 400 free behind Titmus, and she also won the inaugural gold medal in the 1500 free and then her historic third straight gold in the 800 free. Ledecky anchored the U.S. women’s 800 free relay team to silver. And finally,\u00a0Japan’s\u00a0Yui Ohashi<\/strong> only swm two events in Tokyo, but she won gold in both, the 400 IM and 200 IM.<\/p>\n

So who out of those five did Swimming World\u00a0<\/em>readers consider the top performer?<\/p>\n
