Hosszú pulled out of the 100m backstroke event to focus on the IM, and it certainly paid off after she clocked a time of 2:07:00 beating off competition from Yui Ohashi of Japan and Madisyn Cox of the USA.

Meanwhile, in the women's water polo event, Hungary lost out to Canada 6:4 in the quarterfinals.
