From swimnews:
'Federica Pellegrini (ITA), who wore two suits in the final and probably in the rounds too, settled the matter with a world recortd of 1:55.45. The suit underneath the bodysuit was more beach-wear/training suit than race suit. It was there for two reasons: in case her bodysuit split and all would be revealed; and because neoprene makes her skin blotchy so she wanted a barrier to her bodysuit.'

Men's 200 FR is 1,025 after the 4x200 relay (6:58.56! That's silly). Patrick Murphy moved himself into the top 10 but it wasn't a big enough drop to change the top 10 average.
