200-meter freestyle
The 200-meter freestyle is a swimming event. The Olympic Games are governed by the International Swimming Federation (FINA). Swimmers cover four lengths of the 50-meter (164-foot) pool. The 200-meter freestyle was first contested at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. It is currently the shortest freestyle event on the Olympic programme.
Ledecky will also swim in the 100-meter and 400-meter freestyle events.
400-meter freestyle
The 400-meter freestyle is a swimming event. The men’s competition has been held at every Summer Olympics since 1896, and the women’s event was added to the program in 1968.
The 400-meter freestyle is considered one of the toughest events in swimming because it consists of eight length laps of a 50-meter pool and requires strong aerobic endurance as well as anaerobic capacity.
At the 2016 Summer Olympics, Katie Ledecky won the gold medal in this event with a time of 3 minutes 56.46 seconds, just ahead of silver medalist Jazz Carlin of Great Britain.
