Hungary´s ´Iron Lady´ turns to gold
Hungary´s "Iron Lady" shattered the world record in the 400m individual medley, seizing control from the start and winning in 4min 26.36sec. She eclipsed the previous record of 4:28.43 set by China´s Ye Shiwen en route to gold in London four years ago -- where Hosszu was relegated to fourth. "Coming to Rio, I wanted to do the best I can and I did," said the five-time world champion. "In London, I was under pressure, I was nervous before the final, I was preoccupied by the idea of what would happen if I don´t win. "And I did **t want to live through this again here in Rio," added the 27-year-old, who built her confidence up by swimming the second-fastest time ever in the heats. "I was confident," she said. "Today, I had a great time swimming this 400 IM. "I k**w I can go faster, going faster is what brings excitement for me." At the 300m mark, Hosszu was move than five seconds under world-record pace, and she broke Ye´s mark by 2.07sec. Hosszu was already celebrating when American Maya DiRado finished second in 4:31.15, with Spain´s Mireia Belmonte claiming bronze in 4:32.39. Hosszu will have plenty of chances to expand her collection of Olympic medals in Rio. She´s also entered in the 200m medley, the 200m butterfly and the 100m and 200m backstroke. "I k**w I have some more races to go and I will have some more fun," she said. أكثر...
