Just minutes after setting a world best in the women’s 200-meter IM, Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu snared her sixth meet title with a personal best in the women;s 200-meter back at the Arena Pro Swim Series Charlotte.
Hosszu raced her way to a 2:07.79, downing her previous personal best of 2:08.32 from prelims this morning.
That swim shot her to third in the world behind only Emily Seebohm (2:06.69) and Daria Ustinova (2:07.29) and moved her closer to yet another Hungarian record currently held by Krisztina Egerszegi with a 2:06.62 from 1991.
