2021 Olympics women’s 400m freestyle final: How to watch online

The 2021 Olympics on Sunday night will feature a fierce final for the women’s 400m freestyle. Here’s how to watch the action.

Get ready for some fireworks in the Tokyo Aquatics Center. The women’s 400m freestyle final will feature two of the most exciting swimmers in the field going at it for gold and glory on Sunday.

American Katie Ledecky has owned the freestyle since 2012. She owns the world record in the event and is trying to grab her sixth Olympic gold. However, Australian Ariarne Titmus may have what it takes to toss her off her perch.

The competition between the two swimmers, which will continue in three other events in the pool at the 2021 Olympics, should make for a dramatic final. They’re likely to meet in the 200m freestyle, the 1,500m freestyle and the 4 x 200m freestyle relay as well.
