American Rebecca Soni claimed gold in the women’s 200m breaststroke after smashing her own world record in the final.
Soni was a massive odds-on favourite to win the title after setting a world record of two minutes 20.00 seconds in the semi-finals, and fully justified her status with a commanding performance.
The 25-year-old took control of the race after the opening length and touched in a time of 2:19.59secs, slicing more than four tenths of a second off her previous time. Japan’s Satomi Suzuki claimed silver with Russian Iuliia Efimova taking bronze. (Mail Online)
