Iron Lady digs deep for triple-double

China Daily  

BUDAPEST - Hungary's 'Iron Lady' Katinka Hosszu admitted feeling the strain after retaining the women's 400m individual medley title at the World Aquatics Championships on Sunday to complete the IM double on home soil in Budapest. Hosszu said the pressure of performing at home had been an issue - until she won her first gold in Monday's 200m IM final. "Honestly, coming into the world champs I tried to tell myself I didn't feel pressure and I'm just going to give my best," she said. Belmonte, who finished with three world medals, including gold in the 200m butterfly, described Hosszu as "unbeatable" at home.
