Women’s 200 Back Final<\/h3>\n

15-year-old Regan Smith<\/strong> delivered in a big way during finals of the women’s 200-meter backstroke, dropping two seconds from her semi-final qualifying time to score the gold medal and set a championship record in the event with her time of 2:07.45. Her opening speed was unmatched, her first 100 being almost two full seconds ahead of the rest of the field. However, she was just off her world junior record-breaking time of 2:07.19 that she went at World Championships in Budapest earlier in the month. Teammate Alexandra Sumner<\/strong> was close behind in 2:09.04 for second place. Bronze went to Natsumi Sakai<\/strong> of Japan in 2:09.34.<\/p>\n

Russia rounded out fourth and fifth place, with fourth place going to\u00a0Polina Egorova<\/strong> of Russia in 2:10.04, and fifth to teammate Anastasiia Avdeeva<\/strong> in 2:10.11.<\/p>\n

Canada’s Hannah Jade\u00a0<\/strong>touched sixth in 2:10.44, while Tatiana Salcultan<\/strong> of Moldova took seventh in 2:11.56. Eight place in the final went to Laura Ilyes<\/strong> of Hungary, with her time of 2:13.31.<\/p>\n
