    World Aquatics Championships: American Katie Ledecky dominated the 1500m freestyle, winning the gold medal for the sixth time at the World Aquatics Championships here on Tuesday.

    Ledecky came up with a blistering first 1000 metres where she was under her world record pace from 2018 as she swam the fifth fastest time in history at 15:26.44. It wasn’t her fastest of the year as her 15:24 from April leads the world rankings, but she won her career 17th individual gold medal at the World Aquatics Championships, adding to her six from the 800m freestyle, four from the 400m, and one from the 200m. Ledecky, coached by Anthony Nesty at the University of Florida, won the United States’ second gold medal of these championships in swimming.

    Italy’s Simona Quadarella swam the best race of her life to bag the silver medal with a time of 15:31.79. With this, the 27-year-old set a new European record, moving up to number two all-time in the process.
