Becca Meyers of the US spent some time chatting with Mallory Weggemann after breaking a 5-year-old world record (4:28.64) in the 400 free S13 with her prelims swim of 4:25.31.
Meyers went on to claim the gold medal in the event during the evening final with a 4:25.58. The event, not contested at the 2012 Paralympic Games where Meyers made her Paralympic debut with a silver and bronze medal, is slated for inclusion in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
