WHILE she didn&#39;t threaten either the world record or the textile best in the women&#39;s 200 breast, USA&#39;s Rebecca Soni completed what she set out to do and that was erase one of the biggest stains on her career.<\/p>\n<p>With a dominant 2:21.47 in the women&#39;s 200 breast, Soni collected the world title at the FINA World Long Course Championships.  Similar to a boxer gaining some revenge for a loss on their record with a win in a rematch, Soni had been looking to wipe away the taint of her 2009 performance in the women&#39;s 200 breast. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m really happy to win the gold medal, since I have been working so hard for it for a very long time,&quot; Soni said. &quot;It&#39;s a really nice night for me, and I wanted to be faster than last night.  Some of the other swimmers are really tough to swim against, but they push me to keep going in the race. I definitely saw [Yuliya Efimova] and am really happy for her. We always have a great time swimming against each other.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Soni took that swim out aggressively with a 1:42.20 split at the 150-meter mark, more than a second under Annamay Pierse&#39;s world record pace, but fell apart after the turn and nearly clocked a 40-second split to fall completely off the podium.<\/p>\n<p>Russia&#39;s Yuliya Efimova finished with a silver in 2:22.22, closing hard on Soni but ran out of room, while Canada&#39;s Martha McCabe rounded out the podium with a bronze-winning 2:24.81.<\/p>\n<p>China&#39;s Sun Ye (2:25.09), Japan&#39;s Rie Kaneto (2:25.36), Serbia&#39;s Nadja Higl (2:25.93), Denmark&#39;s Rikke Pedersen (2:26.56) and Canada&#39;s Annamay Pierse (2:27.00) also competed in the finale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For full Swimming World coverage of the entire 2011 FINA World Championships, including all videos and recaps, visit our Event Landing Page.
