After pulling off an unprecedented Triple Crown at swimming's world championships, it's time to take on the legacy of Michael Phelps. Yet it was downright Phelps-like the way he pulled off a remarkable night of swimming at Duna Arena. Ledecky won in 8:12.68, which was nearly 8 seconds off her world record at Rio de Janeiro. Sjostrom set her second world record of the meet, having already established a new standard in the 100 free while swimming the leadoff leg of the 4x100 free relay. Two of his golds came in events that feature men and women on the same team, races Phelps never competed in at worlds.
