Women’s 200 Back FINAL:
Katinka Hosszu of Hungary posted a decisive victory in finals of the women’s 200 back, jumping to the lead within the first 50-meters of the race. Hosszu continued to build her lead as she finished with a 2:00.79, almost one and a half seconds ahead of the competition.
Ukraine’s Daryna Zevina held close to Hosszu’s feet to pick up the silver medal with a time of 2:02.24, while Australia’s Emily Seebohm powered to a bronze medal and a final time of 2:02.65.
Hilary Caldwell of Canada turned in a fourth place finish of 2:03.98, followed by Great Britain’s Kathleen Dawson and her time of 2:04.09.
The USA’s Hellen Moffitt grabbed sixth with a 2:04.56, just ahead of the Japanese duo of Sayaka Akase (2:05.02) and Miki Takahashi (2:06.29).
She should be Ban from swimming the newbie has no chance in winning gold. She old enough and experinced unfair to the young ones.
Why? She is the best that’s it. Krisztina Egerszegi was 15 when she won Olimpic gold medal ahead of two East-German terminators. If the young ones are better than Katinka, they will win. Until then, they have to take this bitter pills. She won four gold and I hope she will win more.
She said earlier this year that after the Tokyo Olympics she plans to retire around 2021.
