Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu picked up her third individual gold medal of the Olympics, lowering her own Olympic Record from a 2:07.45 to a 2:06.58. Hosszu was under her own World Record pace throughout the first half of the race but Great Britain’s Siobhan-Marie O’Connor held on and pushed her, refusing to let the “Iron Lady” out of her sight.
O’Connor gained ground in the final 50 of the race but was unable to get past Hosszu, settling for silver, a 2:06.88, and a new national record for Great Britain.
Silver medalist in the 400 IM, Maya DiRado of the USA, picked up the bronze medal with a final time of 2:08.79, finishing just ahead of American teammate Melanie Margalis (2:09.21).
Australia’s Alicia Coutts finished fifth overall with a 2:10.88, while Canada’s Sydney Pickrem picked up sixth with a 2:11.22.
