NANTERRE, France (AP) — It was billed as one of the most anticipated races of the Paris Olympics.
Ariarne Titmus turned it into a blowout.
Titmus left Katie Ledecky in her wake on a raucous opening night at La Defense Arena, leading from start to finish to win the 400-meter freestyle Saturday.
Titmus, the Australian star known as “Terminator,” handed Ledecky a second straight Olympic defeat in an event the American won at Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
