GOLD: FEDERICA PELLEGRINI (ITA) WRSILVER: ISAKOVIC (SLO)
BRONZE: PANG (CHN)
PELLEGRINI led from the start to finish, broken her own WR set in the heats. When the Italy national anthem was played during the awards ceremony, PELLEGRINI led the crowd clapping to the anthem, bringing up the atmosphere. I also noticed a certain stiff Chinese supporter in the crowd, frowning at an Italian who was bouncing up and down at his seat. POTEC (ROU), the gold medalist four years ago in Athens, was in the race as well. HOFF fought all she could but still fell short. Go HOFF!
PELLEGRINI is also the first Italian to win at a swimming event.
