Swimming: A gold, 2 silvers and a record

Reporting from Nanterre, France

Four more sets of swimming medals were handed out tonight at Paris La Défense Arena.

In the 200-meter women’s butterfly, Canadian prodigy Summer McIntosh, China’s Zhang Yufei and Smith were considered the favorites with Carmel, Indiana’s Alex Shackell also in the mix.

It was McIntosh who prevailed to take the gold. The USA's Regan Smith finished second to add another medal to her collection, which now boasts five. She also won silver in the 100 backstroke Tuesday. Zhang took bronze.

The men’s 200-meter backstroke featured Hungary’s Hubert Kós, Switzerland’s Roman Mityukov and Arizona native Keaton Jones. It was a race most notable for who wasn't there — Ryan Murphy, who won silver in Tokyo, failed to qualify

Jones was shut out of the podium. Kos took gold, Apostolos Christou of Greece the silver, and Mityukov the bronze.

Indiana's Lilly King, a five-time medalist with two golds on her mantle, faced a stiff challenge in the 200-meter breaststroke from South Africa’s Tatjana Smith and Kate Douglass, of Pelham, New York. In the end, Douglass took gold, Smith silver and Tes Schouten of the Netherlands the bronze.

Swimming powerhouses the U.S., Australia, Canada and China faced off in one of the signature races of these games, the 4x200-meter women’s freestyle relay.

Australia may have won the gold, but Katie Ledecky came out on top with her 13th medal — a silver medal — that cemented her as the most decorated female Olympian.
