W00t!  Another two gold medals for Stanford's Ledecky and Dirado.  Ledecky took the US from 1 second behind after Dirado's third leg to an almost 2 second win.  Ledecky swam her leg in something like 1:53, which might be the fastest 200 split in history.  At around the 50m turn, with Ledecky still trailing, the announcers called it for the US.

Missy Franklin was a scratch for the final.  Not that it matters, but anyone know why?
