Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu pulled away from the USA’s Kelsi Worrell on the third 50 and then held on down the stretch to win gold in the 200 fly. It was Hosszu’s second gold medal of the meet after dominating the 400 IM Tuesday night.

Hosszu touched in 2:02.15, while Worrell finished second in 2:02.89, breaking Cammile Adams’ American record of 2:03.39 set last year. Worrell competed in this final less than 15 minutes after helping the U.S. women set a world record in the 200 medley relay.

China’s Zhang Yufei took the bronze in 2:05.10, just ahead of the USA’s Ella Eastin (2:05.66).

Russia’s Svetlana Chimrova was fifth in 2:06.20, and Australia’s Emily Washer (2:07.19), Canada’s Katerine Savard (2:07.49) and Japan’s Miyu Nakano (2:09.42) also qualified for the top eight.
