Katinka Hosszu With World Record Triple After 100 IM Victory at Worlds – Video

DOHA – The Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu certainly shook off a pair of losses to Mireia Belmonte Garcia on day one as Hosszu clocked her third world record of the meet with a 100 IM win at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video
Hosszu, who already set the 100 IM world record twice this year on the FINA World Cup tour, blasted a winning time of 56.70. That swim cleared Hosszu’s world mark of 56.86 from the Dubai stop of the World Cup. Incidentally, it also beat Hosszu’s meet record of 56.99 from yesterday.
Along with world records in the 100 back and 200 back, Hosszu now has a global standard triple this week.
Hosszu is just the third swimmer to defend a short course world title in the women’s 100 IM. Australia’s Brooke Hanson (2004, 2006) and Slovakia’s Martina Moravcova (1999, 2000, 2002) previously pulled off a successful title defense.
Great Britain’s Siobhan-Marie O’Connor hit the wall second in 57.83, off her second-ranked season best of 57.66 from yesterday, but good enough for silver.
Australia’s Emily Seebohm collected another medal tonight after silver in the 200 back. She placed third in 58.19 in the sprint medley.
Jamaica’s Alia Atkinson (58.58), Lithuania’s Ruta Meilutyte (58.73), USA’s Melanie Margalis (58.86), Israel’s Amit Ivry (59.17) and Hungary’s Evelyn Verraszto (59.31) also vied for the world title tonight.
