DOHA –\u00a0Hungary\u2019s Katinka Hosszu blasted her way to a stunning fourth world record with a winning effort in the women\u2019s 200 IM at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video<\/a><\/p>\n

Hosszu surged to a 2:01.86 to break the 2:02 barrier in the 200-meter IM, as she cleared her own global standard of 2:02.13 set in Dubai earlier this year on the FINA World Cup.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, she also smashed the meet mark of 2:04.64 set by Ye Shiwen in 2012.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s Hosszu\u2019s fourth world record as she already took down the 100 back, 200 back and 100 IM records this week.<\/p>\n

No one else has been even remotely close to catching Hosszu in this event this year. \u00a0Her closest rival was Siobhan-Marie O\u2019Connor tonight in 2:05.87. \u00a0Caitlin Leverenz had been the second-ranked swimmer entering tonight with a 2:06.15 from the Tokyo stop of the FINA World Cup.<\/p>\n

USA\u2019s Melanie Margalis placed third tonight in 2:06.68.<\/p>\n

Hosszu\u2019s gold gave Hungary its ninth medal so far here in Doha (6G, 2S, 1B), just one off the nation\u2019s record for most medals at a short course worlds in 2012 (3G, 4S, 3B).<\/p>\n

Hosszu has been undefeated in this event since she lost to Ye in 2012 at the World Short Course Championships in Istanbul.<\/p>\n

Hosszu now has six medal here in Doha with four golds and two silvers. \u00a0Only three women have won more golds than Hosszu as Brooke Hanson (6 in 2004), Libby Trickett \u00a0(5 in 2006) and Le Jingyi (5 in 1993) are ahead of her on that chart.<\/p>\n

Great Britain\u2019s Hannah Miley (2:06.84), Leverenz (2:06.90), Hungary\u2019s Evelyn Verraszto (2:07.05), Japan\u2019s Sakiko Shimizu (2:08.65) and Australia\u2019s Ellen Fullerton (2:09.62) were also part of the historic finale.<\/p>\n
