Women’s 100 IM:

Katinka Hosszu of Hungary added the 100 individual medley gold medal to her collection with a strong showing in finals. Hosszu was not without competition, however, as Australia’s Emily Seebohm and Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson hung close by, working their respective specialty strokes.

Hosszu managed to pull away from Seebohm in the breaststroke leg to finish first with a time of 57.24, leaving it a competition for the remaining spots on the podium. Meanwhile Atkinson used the breaststroke leg to close the distance on Seebohm, closing the gap to a difference of .07 seconds.

Seebohm took second overall with a 57.97 over Atkinson’s 58.04.

Marrit Steenburgen of the Netherlands finished fourth overall with a time of 58.81, while Finland’s Jenna Laukkanen was fifth with a 59.00.

Austria’s Lena Kreundl (59.67), Norway’s Susann Bjornsen (59.89), and the USA’s Ella Eastin (59.97) completed the top eight.
