Ledecky hid any potential discouragement after the loss. "I can't be disappointed with that, it was a great time for me." Ledecky had not broken 3:59 in any 400 free race since 2018. She did so by over a second and a half Sunday.
After the race, Titmus and Ledecky embraced, with the Aussie telling her American rival, "I couldn't have done it without you."
Titmus has now beaten Ledecky at consecutive major championships after stunning the swimming world with a win at the 2019 World Championships.
As Titmus closed out the victory, her coach, Dean Boxall, cheered wildly inside the Tokyo Aquatics Center.
