\nThis week\u2019s ZUMO Performance of the Week goes to <\/span>Lilly King<\/b>, who recorded a personal best time in the 200 breast at the 2019 FINA Champions Series in Indianapolis this week. <\/span><\/p>\n

King made her first Champions Series appearance in Indianapolis with a big statement swim in the 200 breast, going head to head with <\/span>rival <\/span>Yulia Efimova<\/b><\/a> on the first night of the meet. It was the first time the two have raced since the 2017 World Championships, and both rose to the occasion. King was out fast through the first 100, leading the field before Efimova reeled her in over the third 50. <\/span><\/p>\n

Typically a strong back-half swimmer, Efimova looked like she was going to take control of the race heading into the final 50. But King refused to give up, and pushed her tempo off the third turn to hang with Efimova over the last 50 before surging in the final meters to take the win by two-tenths.
