RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Talk about a one-and-done.
Late bloomer Maya DiRado won two golds, a silver and bronze in her first and last Olympics, capping the final meet of her career with a stunning upset of triple gold-medalist Katinka Hosszu in the 200-meter backstroke Friday night.
Hosszu had beaten the 23-year-old American in two earlier events at the Rio Games, winning the 200 and 400 individual medleys while DiRado claimed bronze in the shorter race and silver in the longer one.
DiRado turned the tables in the backstroke after closely chasing the Hungarian in the next lane throughout the race.
