  Lane 9 News Archive: Pellegrini Goes 1:59.23 for 200 Free, Setting Her Third National Record at Italian Nationals as ...
Fifteen year-old Federica Pellegrini, dubbed the "lioness of Verona" for her fascination with the King of the Jungle, already had set national records in the 50 (25.47) and 100 frees (54.40) before moving onto the 200 free.
Pellegrini also anchored a pair of her DDSA club's s three relays splitting 54.39 anchoring the medley; 2:00.07 anchoring the 800 free and 54.36 on the third leg of the 400 free.
Pellegrini is almost a decade younger than most of her competitors save Seppala, and while it may be premature at this point to think in terms of Olympic medals, a good case can be made for her finaling in the three sprint races (50-100-200 frees).
