DOHA \u2013\u00a0Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu found some redemption with a world record swim in the 100 back to win the world title tonight at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video<\/a><\/p>\n

A day after sustaining a pair of tough losses to Mireia Belmonte Garcia<\/a>, Hungary\u2019s Katinka Hosszu bounced back in a big way with a world record in the 100 back tonight.<\/p>\n

Hosszu has been chasing this particular record for quite some time. \u00a0She\u2019d already made the IMs her personal domain until Belmonte Garcia came along last night and took down the 400 IM mark.<\/p>\n

Tonight, Hosszu threw down a stunning 55.03 to win the finale, clearing Shiho Sakai\u2019s 2009 world mark of 55.23 from the Berlin stop of the FINA World Cup. Hosszu had won all seven World Cup races in the 100 back this year.<\/p>\n

Hosszu is the first Hungarian to win the women\u2019s 100 back, and just the third European as Germany\u2019s Sandra Volker (2000) and Janine Pietsch (2006) also won.<\/p>\n

Hosszu now has three short course world records with the 100 IM and 200 IM also on her resume.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s Emily Seebohm raced her way to second in 55.31, bettering her second-ranked season best of 55.47 from the Australia Short Course Championships.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Daryna Zevina turned in a 55.54 to take bronze in the finale tonight.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s Madi Wilson (56.37), Denmark\u2019s Mie Nielsen (56.62), USA\u2019s Kathleen Baker (57.07), Brazil\u2019s Etiene Medeiros (57.72) and Great Britain\u2019s Georgia Davies (57.77) finished fourth through eighth.<\/p>\n
