She clocked eight minutes, 07.39 seconds over 800m to shave 2.61secs off the record she set past year.
“I actually like to see what she will do”, stated Lauren Boyle, the silver medalist from New Zealand.
“You don’t go into a race hoping you come last but to be honest I’m just happy I was in that final“, said Proud, who finished 18th in this event on his World Championship debut two years ago.
Ledecky said she would not have minded swimming a slightly slower world record to mark a personal occasion.
“I knew I could do something tonight and I wanted to finish it up”. “However I recovered very properly”.
“I’m learning how to control my emotions”. I was happy with my split in the relay so really it was just about coming in with my head down. She holds the hat-trick of world records in the 400, 800 and 1500m freestyle, despite having only graduated from high school recently and has yet to get her driving licence.
“I am simply very glad that he is again to his good type, so he can not come out and say, “Oh, I have never been coaching” or all that garbage that he is been speaking”, Le Clos stated.
“I don’t know if it was close to a ideal race”, he said.
The blue riband men’s 50m free was settled 28 hundredths of a second above the world record pace set by Cesar Cielo in 2009.
