The US did not win the 4×200 meter freestyle relay at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but it wasn't for a lack of effort on Katie Ledecky's part. Ledecky swam anchor in the relay and entered the pool trailing Australia by a length, and China by about two lengths. It didn't take long for Ledecky to surpass Australia. She set her sight on China as well, but ran out of distance to overtake first place. The Chinese relay team ended up setting a world record with a time of 7:40.33.
