Aaron has, once again, beaten his own world record in the 200m backstroke! Swimming in the World Championships in Rome, Aaron won a gold medal with a time of 1 minute and 51.82 seconds, more than a full second under his previous world record set only three weeks ago at US Nationals. Although he lagged behind fellow American and defending Olympic champ Ryan Lochte at the beginning of the race, Aaron pulled ahead in the last half of the race for the win. Congrats (again), Aaron!
