For his final event of the American selections Saturday, Ryan Lochte has offered 4 200m medley, world best in the key. Katie Ledecky also shone.

Ryan Lochte has negotiated its final stretch. Already qualified for the 200m freestyle at World, 200m backstroke and 100m butterfly, the Floridian has won a last individual ticket at the last day of competition on Saturday in Indianapolis. He won the 200m medley 4, proof that he is the world record since 2009 in 1'55'' 044. Synonymous with world best time of the year and a very nice way to end the U.S. selections for those who could also participate in three relays in Barcelona.


Fourth performance history for Ledecky

Another sensation in the basins of Indiana, providing Katie Ledecky, only 16 years. About 1500 m, she just signed the fourth performance in history, the best this season (15'47'' 015). At the halfway point, it was even on the basis of world record. "I pushed to see how far I could go, I do not remember anything, she said. I was trying to find a rhythm of breathing and let the water carry me and the public. "This is also the fourth individual qualifying for the World, after those of 200, 400, and 800.
Full marks for Jaeger

As Lochte, Connor Jaeger restarts of U.S. selections with three titles in his pocket. Saturday he won the 800m and has realized the treble over long distances in freestyle (400, 800 and 1 500m). After announcing Thursday that it would seek to align the 4 200m medley, Missy Franklin finally abandoned at the last moment. With four individual titles (100 and 200m freestyle, 100m and 200m back) and its probable presence in all three relays, it should still participate in seven events in Barcelona.
