11 p.m.

Katie Ledecky is on her way to an Olympic feat that's only been done one other time.

Ledecky held off Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom to win gold in the 200-meter freestyle Tuesday night at the Rio Olympics.

Fifth at the first flip turn, Ledecky powered to the front on the third lap and grittily held off a hard-charging Sjostrom coming to the wall.

Ledecky touched in 1 minute, 53.73 seconds. The silver went to Sjostrom in 1:54.
