The event was seen as a battle between 18-year-old McIntosh – who has three Olympic gold medals – and 28-year-old nine-time Olympic champion Ledecky.<\/p>\n

However, McIntosh led from the start to win in three minutes 56 seconds, with China’s Li Bingjie second and Ledecky 2.23secs behind the leader.<\/p>\n

McIntosh has a chance to join Michael Phelps as the only swimmer to win five individual titles at a single world championships as she is also set to race in the 400m and 200m individual medley, 200m butterfly and 800m freestyle.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Canadian broadcaster CBC, the teenager said: “It’s amazing, day one is probably my biggest day in the meet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
