ledecky wearing a mask ….
China is going with Ge Chutong (1:57.88) instead of Zhang Yufei. Wow!
That’s alot of pressure to put on Erin Gemmell.
After last night Mollie’s going to be raging after that WR
Seems like USA will be battling China for silver.
Canada will be up there
If bingjie swims well yea if she is still rough should be comfortable silver for US.
