Katie Ledecky rebounded from her first major defeat with a more typical result Thursday, gold while anchoring the U.S. 4x200m freestyle relay.
Leah Smith, Mallory Comerford, Melanie Margalis and Ledecky combined to win the world title in Budapest over China. Australia earned bronze.
Ledecky dove in with a .13 lead over China and fell behind by .13 after 50 meters but opened up a body-length lead going into the last 50 meters.
Ledecky bagged her 13th career world gold (extending her female record) and fourth of this week.
