It's gold for the US and a massive world record for Missy Franklin in the women's 200 meter backstroke.

The American teen sensation was a heavy favorite going into the final, after comfortably winning her semi-final and gold at last year's World Championships. This is her third gold medal in London.

Franklin smashed the world record by three quarters of a second with a time of 2 minutes four point zero six. Russian Anastasia Zuyeva took silver and American Elizabeth Beisel grabbed bronze.
