NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TYR Sport proudly congratulates Katie Ledecky and Bobby Finke on their outstanding performances at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, where both athletes once again proved their status among the greatest distance swimmers of all time.
Legendary TYR athlete Katie Ledecky made history at the World Aquatics Championships, capturing her sixth world title in the 1500m freestyle, extending her undefeated streak in the event and setting a record for the most titles by any swimmer in that discipline.
