BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) Katinka Hosszu has a case full of medals.
She wants so much more.
From marketing marvel to ambitious businesswoman to fledgling union organizer, the Hungarian swimmer known as the ”Iron Lady” knows how to make a splash – in and out of the pool.
Along with American star Katie Ledecky, Hosszu is perhaps the biggest name at the world championships this week, the home-country favorite whose faces seemingly appears on every billboard around Budapest, whose every appearance at Duna Arena is accompanied by foot-stomping, flag-waving euphoria.
She lived up to the enormous expectations in her first event of the meet, winning the 200-meter individual medley Monday night.
