BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Chase Kalisz continued America's dominance of the men's 200 metres individual medley as the United States enjoyed a memorable evening at the world championships on Thursday. Kalisz said that the enormity of his task had weighed on his mind for months. Japanese Kosuke Hagino, the 2013 silver medallist, had cutloose on the backstroke before Kalisz took control on a swift breaststroke leg and freestyle finale. "It's nice to go one-two with Nathan, there is nothing like that, Americans on top," an ecstatic Dressel said. Franziska Hentke took silver with Hosszu landing bronze.
