Australian women off to a dominant start in their Olympic swimming rivalry with the US

Associated Press  

NANTERRE, France — The Australian women are about the surest thing in swimming, and they showed it Saturday on the first night at the Paris Olympic pool. They picked up two gold medals, led by Ariarne Titmus in the 400-meter freestyle and another by the quartet in the 4x100 freestyle relay, their fourth straight Olympic victory in that event. “It’s a really special moment to stand on the podium with the other three girls.” The U.S. claimed gold in the final event of first night at the pool, winning the men’s 4x100 freestyle relay with Caeleb Dressel on the anchor leg. Katie Ledecky gave the Americans a bronze in the 400 free — her 10th Olympic medal, including six gold — and the U.S. women took silver in the 4x100 free relay in 3:30.20 with Kate Douglass, Gretchen Walsh, Torri Huske and Simone Manuel.
