FUKUOKA, Japan : Matthew Richards of Britain finished strongly to capture the gold medal ahead of compatriot Tom Dean in the men's 200 metres freestyle at the World Aquatics Championships on Tuesday with a solid time of one minute, 44.30 seconds.
Seven-times Olympic champion Katie Ledecky will be the firm favourite for the women's 1,500m freestyle, with the American going over 13 seconds faster than Italy's Simona Quadarella - the next best in the heats. Kaylee McKeown, Australia's triple Olympic gold medallist, endured a nightmare after being disqualified from the women's 200m medley and the 22-year-old will aim to make up for her disappointment in the 100m backstroke final later.
McKeown will need to channel the form that secured her the world record of 57.45 seconds at the Australian Olympic trials in 2021 to swell her country's gold medal tally.
