Japan’s Natsumi Hoshi<\/strong> powered her way to her first world title with a win at the women’s 200-meter fly at the 2015 FINA World Championships.<\/p>\n

Katie McLaughlin <\/strong>(USA)\u00a0<\/strong> and Franziska Hentke<\/strong>\u00a0 (Germany) led the first and 2nd positions through the first 150 meters.\u00a0Hoshi, who sat back in the third and fourth-place spots throughout most of the swim, turned on the jets to win the title down the stretch with a 2:05.56.<\/p>\n

That swim put Hoshi third in the world rankings behind Hentke (2:05.26) and Madeline Groves<\/strong> (2:05.41) this year.<\/p>\n

Hoshi didn’t need her best for the win as she’s been a 2:04.69 back in 2012 for the Japanese record.<\/p>\n

USA’s Cammile Adams<\/strong> chased down her first world championship medal with a silver-winning time of 2:06.40. \u00a0That’s her lifetime best, clearing a 2:06.52 on her resume as the Pan Pacific Champion clinched silver here on the brightest stage.<\/p>\n

China’s Zhang Yufei<\/strong> lowered her own World Junior Record with a bronze-winning 2:06.51. \u00a0That swim cleared her 2:06.92 set yesterday.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Brianna Throssell<\/strong> (2:06.78), Germany’s Hentke (2:06.78), USA’s Katie McLaughlin<\/strong> (2:06.95), Hungary’s Liliana Szilagyi<\/strong> (2:07.76) and China’s Zhou Yilin<\/strong> (2:10.20) closed out the rest of the championship field.<\/p>\n
