Phelps in a tie and a Ledecky slam

Michael Phelps in his race ended up in a three way tie for silver, with Chad Le Clos and Laslo Cseh. Joseph Schooling won Singapore's first swimming medal - a gold - in the 100m butterfly. i think the silver gives Phelps 27 career medals(22g, 3s 2b). wow. after his race, Katie Ledecky of the U.S. completed a rare triple. she became the second swimmer to win the 200m free, 400m free and 800m free. first one happened in 1968. and she won the 800m in world record time. fitting.
