Italy's Federica Pellegrini is the world record holder in the 200 LCM freestyle (1:52.98) and was the first woman under 4:00 for the 400 LCM freestyle.
Read more about her here
Pellegrini is preparing now for Tokyo in what would be her fifth Olympic Games. She’s been a world-class performer for 16 years. Between 2004 and 2019, she’s medaled in the 200 free at major meets (Olympics, SC Worlds, LC Worlds or Europeans) every year except 2018.
If she races in the 200 free in Tokyo, she'll be just a few days shy of turning 33 years old.
She can REALLY finish races!
Here's some great race footage of some of Pellegrini's top swims.
Oh yeah, Federica's a pull-up machine:
