Italy's Federica Pellegrini won the women's 200 freestyle with a world-best time of 1:54.82, edging Slovenia's Sara Isakovic by 0.15 second. China's Pang Jiaying took the bronze. The 20-year-old Pellegrini added to a silver in Athens 2004, when she became the youngest Italian to win an Olympic medal.
``What came into my mind was `finally, finally,'' Pellegrini said after securing Italy's fourth gold in Beijing. ``I have been expecting to win for the last four years.''
The 400m free gold medal has eluded the 20-year-old Pellegrini, who also set a new world record in the heats but finished a disappointing fourth in the 400m Finals to the lesser-known Briton Rebecca Adlington.
Italy has 11 TOTAL Medals, the Seventh Most, including 4 Golds, as of Aug 13, 2008 US PST
