So in fairness to the Chinese 400IM winner-how do you explain Ledecky's win?I thought for sure-as did the announcers-that she was going to burn out by the 300,400,at the very least the 500 mark.
I'd love to see her splits compared to Adlington/Friis/Garcia.
In addition to what others have said, Ledecky's overall time wasn't insane. Janet Evans did an 8:16 in 1989, so you're talking about a mere two seconds over a couple decades. Janet was amazing, but it was only a matter of time.
