Ledecky was beastly.

NZB · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:56

Such a shame.

adlington a little too complacent before getting in the water methinks

Poor swim from Becky, faster than her PB in the 400 but way off in this.

Gutted....

well done tho!

Marmot · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:57

Dream over.

Wow Ledecky, a 15 yr old takes the gold, narrowly missed out on the WR and unlucky Becky, ended up with a bronze...her second.

Unbelievable race by an unknown 15 yr old...here i am going nuts over Missy who is 17 but geezus where did Ledecky come from??.

Can't help but feel a bit disappointed with that bronze, but it's a bronze non the less.

Amazing race by Ledecky, only 15, scary.

Bennie-Mac · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:58

She is absolutely wrecked

Vampire · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:58

Oh well, Bronze is still good.

Monkeymatt · 3 Aug 2012 at 19:58

What has happened to Adlington? She seems to be really struggling this year.. lack of preparation?

Also what is it with these brilliant teenage swimmers that the US and China are producing? They are like machines!

You're commentating like we haven't watched the race. Are you American?

the definition of ledecky is bizarre for a 15 yr old

Marmot · 3 Aug 2012 at 20:00

That interview was pretty touching! Poor girl.

No, but all of us commenting on here knew Ledecky won the gold...

The_One · 3 Aug 2012 at 20:02

wonder if the us coach will now come out and say omg that result was suspicious like he did with the chinese girl

Merlin5 · 3 Aug 2012 at 20:04

I just think Adlington is a bit of a flash in the pan. Did great in 2008 but I can't see her ever doing gold again at future olympics.

Hehe i knew around the 200m mark that Ledecky was going to win it although i didnt say it as it was too early but i had a feeling.

And for the record im a huge fan of the American swimming team both men and women. Just like GB dominate the track cycling events, the Americans absolutely dominate in the water.
