Federica Pellegrini’s world record of 1:51.17 from 2009 is living on borrowed time after the Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu put it on notice this morning with a blistering 1:51.50 to top qualifying. \u00a0She was under world record pace through 150 meters before easing off the gas a bit. \u00a0She’s already set three world records this year on the circuit, there’s little doubt she has some other targets in mind.<\/p>\n
