Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu continued her dominance on day 5 of the SC Worlds in Windsor, finishing off a very impressive triple that saw her win gold in the 200 IM, qualify 2nd for the 100 fly final and win silver in the 50 back. Hosszu noted that she isn’t a sprinter, and therefore being on the 50 back podium is special.
