Iron Lady seizes the moment at swimming world championships
BUDAPEST, Hungary — With Katie Ledecky getting the night off, Hungary’s Iron Lady seized the moment Monday at the world championships.
Katinka Hosszu lived up to her country’s enormous expectations with an electrifying victory in the 200-metre individual medley, spurred on by a flag-waving, foot-stomping crowd at Duna Arena.
The new 12,000-seat aquatic facility along the Danube was packed all the way to the rafters, and it was clear who most of the fans came to see.
Hosszu didn’t let them down.
