Italy’s Federica Pellegrini waited her turn and then stormed past Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu to win the Short Course World title in the women’s 200 free.
Hosszu led through the 175-meter mark, but Pellegrini pulled ahead on the last 25 to take the win. Pellegrini’s final time was 1:51.73, while Hosszu finished second in 1:52.28.
16-year-old Canadian Taylor Ruck took down the Canadian record and took the bronze, coming in at 1:52.50.
Russia’s Veronika Popova finished just out of the medals in fourth, posting a time of 1:53.39, and the USA’s Mallory Comerford, competing in her first international final, was fifth in 1:53.79.
Canada’s Katerine Savard (1:54.21), the USA’s Leah Smith (1:54.49) and Brazil’s Manuella Lyrio (1:55.51) also swam in the final.
What do poor Hosszu’s husband say? Punk!

Hosszu was the second to slowest finalist at the last 50.
