This is only the beginning of the story, and after waiting for his first Olympic trials, He is already approaching the best moment of his career by completing his victories at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics..

His first report was in the 400-meter freestyle, which was supposed to be purely for Ledecky, but made a second difference of .67 per cent. Now, At 200 meters of the same style they were expected to be a reflection of the North American, but the situation was unfavorable when he disappeared from the fight And leave the highlight to Ditmus and Sioban Hockey’s amazing performance.

Despite a good start, the competition was not for her and on the last return Ditmus made the difference to earn her second gold medal. One would think that adding an Olympic record of 1: 53.50 would be a surprise, but the truth is, it’s a tough blow to get Ledecky off the medal table. From the history expected in a new competition, everything was proud of one and disappointing fifth place for the other who recorded 1: 55.21. Now, 1500 meters is believed to be the salvation.
