Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu will be competing in her fourth Olympic Games. With 56 international medals to her name, she may be the most decorated swimmer never to capture any Olympic hardware. That should change, though, in Rio. She won the gold medal in the women’s 200 IM (2:06.12) at last year’s World Championships, lowering the world record—set in 2009 by Ariana Kukors, who was wearing the now-banned technical racing suit—by three one-hundredths of a second.
Hosszu went 2:07.46 in 2009 while training with Dave Salo. Now, seven years later and coached by her husband, Shane Tusup, Hosszu is quicker. She has the world’s fastest time this year (2:07.30) and is nearly two seconds ahead of her competition, which includes Siobhan-Marie O’Connor of Great Britain (#2, 2:09.03, and last year’s bronze medalist at Worlds in 2:08.77) and Maya DiRado of the United States (#3 in 2:09.54 and fourth-place finisher at Worlds, 2:08.99).
