The favorites have largely reigned at the world swimming championships in Budapest.
Olympic champions Katie Ledecky, Lilly King, Katinka Hosszu and Sarah Sjöström dominated the early women’s events at the Duna Arena.
New stars emerged on the men’s side, but Caeleb Dressel and Chase Kalisz‘s first world titles were anything but a surprise. They joined Rio gold medalists Sun Yang, Adam Peaty and Chad le Clos in starring roles.
The U.S. has continued its relay dominance, winning the first four of eight races at the eight-day meet.
