Katie Ledecky finally won her first gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and won the first place in the 1500m freestyle event, which was the first appearance of this year’s women’s Olympics.

The American superstar achieved a typical dominance just one hour after being defeated in the 200m freestyle final and finished fifth.

Ledkey led from start to finish, winning her sixth Olympic gold medal in 15 minutes and 37.34 seconds.

American player Erica Sullivan won the silver medal with 15:41.41, while German player Sarah Kohler won the bronze medal with 15:42.91.

At the same time, Britain won the men’s 4×200m freestyle relay at the Olympics for the first time since 1908, but it just missed the world record.

Britain’s strong team that finished 1-2 in 200 freestyles won the game in 6 minutes and 58.58 seconds. This is far from the world record set by the Americans in the 2009 World Championships (6:58.55).

200m gold medalist Tom Dean led the British team. James Gay and Masha Chaz occupied the middle leg before 200m silver medalist Duncan Scott swam the anchor leg. This is the first British gold medal in the event since its debut at the first London Olympics.

Russia won the silver medal at 7:01.81, while Australia won the bronze medal at 7:01.84.

Japanese swimmer Yui Ohashi swept the women’s individual medley. Ohashi won the 200m medley, beating the Americans Alex Walsh and Kate Douglass. She had previously won the 400-meter individual medley.

Hungary’s Christoph Milak won the men’s 200m butterfly championship at the Tokyo Aquatic Center.

Milac won the gold medal with approximately twice his length, cementing his position as one of the biggest favorites in the Olympic swimming pool. He touched the ball in 1 minute and 51.25 seconds, about 2.5 seconds ahead of silver medalist Tomoru Honda, who finished the game in 1 minute and 53.73 seconds. The bronze medal was won by Federico Burdisso of Italy with a score of 1 point and 54.45 points.

Skateboarding

The quarantined Olympic skateboarder Candi Jacobs said she must take action to be allowed to breathe fresh air in an quarantined hotel in Japan.

The Dutch athlete was taken from the Olympic Village after testing positive for COVID-19 a week ago and placed in an isolation facility for people who contracted the coronavirus during the Tokyo Olympics. On the seventh day of quarantine, she said that she had to force officials to allow her to rest for 15 minutes under supervision and ask her to leave the room to breathe fresh air because the windows of her room were not open.

“No outside air is so inhumane,” she said in a video message posted on Instagram. “This is very mentally exhausting… It is definitely beyond the capacity of many people.”

Jacobs said: “The first time I breathed the air outside was the saddest and most beautiful moment in my life.”

The 31-year-old man missed the street event in the sport’s Olympic debut, but watched the game on TV, calling it a “cool distraction” from quarantine.

boxing

Two world champions were eliminated in the top 16 of the Tokyo Olympic boxing match.

On Wednesday, Irish lightweight Kurt Walker defeated Uzbek world champion Mirazizbek Mirzakhalilov 4-1, breaking one of the biggest upsets of the tournament. .

Two hours later, the Russian light heavyweight Imam Khatayev defeated Kazakhstan’s world champion Bekzad Nurdaletov with a score of 4-1. The 26-year-old Khatayev has nearly a decade of high-level amateur experience, but no victory can be compared to this frustration.

Nessi Petesio of the Philippines and Irma Testa of Italy also advanced to the semifinals with light weights and won their country’s first Olympic women’s boxing medal.

volleyball

The American men’s volleyball team defeated Tunisia 3-1 in a billiards game, and the record improved to 2-1.

Recovering from the loss to the Russians, they defeated the lowest ranked team in the group 25-14, 23-25, 25-14, 25-23.

This victory made the US team one of the top four teams in Group B, capable of advancing to the quarterfinals. Tunisia has lost all three games in Tokyo so far.

Cycling

Annemiek van Vleuten won the women’s time trial.

The Dutch driver led by more than 6 seconds at the first check, then pushed it to a staggering 28 seconds, then she put down the hammer and finished the race in 30 minutes 13.49 seconds at the Fuji International Circuit.

Swiss player Marlen Reusser won the silver medal with a time of more than 56 seconds, and van Vleuten’s teammate Anna van der Breggen won the bronze medal.

baseball

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach and Japanese baseball superstar Wu Zhenji attended the opening game of the Olympic baseball championship and held the ceremonial first game in Fukushima.

Seiko Hashimoto, chairman of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, and Riccardo Fraccari, chairman of the World Baseball and Softball Federation, joined them, and a high school baseball player from the region threw the first goal.

This is the only Olympic baseball game held in Fukushima, which was destroyed by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami and nuclear accident in 2011. The remaining games will be held at Tokyo Yokohama Baseball Stadium.

Baseball has been restored to the Olympic roster for the first time since 2008. The sport will be cancelled again during the 2024 Paris Olympics, but it is expected to be held again in Los Angeles in 2028.

boating

China broke the world record for women’s quadruple sculls and won the gold medal, ending the first day of the record-breaking rowing final.

The Chinese boat finished the race in 6 minutes and 0.13 seconds, nearly 2 seconds shorter than the record set by the Netherlands in 2014. The game never ends. The Polish team lags behind the Chinese team to win the silver medal by more than 6 seconds. Australia won the bronze medal for the country’s fourth medal that day.

The windy conditions brought strong tailwinds to the rowers on the Tokyo Sea Forest Waterway, and each of the six medal games on Wednesday set a new world or Olympic record.

The Netherlands set a new world record in the men’s quadruple scull competition, sprinting to win the gold medal in the last 500 meters.

They beat the 5 minutes and 32.26 seconds set by Ukraine in the 2014 World Championships in 5 minutes and 32.03 seconds.

The Dutch ship ranked fourth after the first 500 meters, but was close to second at the next mark. The later push surpassed Britain to take the lead.

Britain subsequently postponed Australia’s late allegations in order to win the silver medal. Australia’s bronze medal is the country’s third medal after winning gold medals in the men’s and women’s four competitions.

Romania’s Ancuta Bodnar and Simona Radis won the first gold medal in the women’s double scull event at the Tokyo Olympics.

Due to the forecast of severe weather in the tropical storm, the rowing medal event was postponed by one day.

Once back on the water, the Romanians were never challenged again and were led by two boats at a distance of only 500 meters. Both Bodnar and Radis are only 22 years old. Their sprint victory left the only silver medal battle. New Zealand players Brooke Donohue and Hannah Osborne defeated Dutch players Roos de Jong and Lisa Scheenaard.
