Coughlin takes 100-meter backstroke gold medal

After winning the three events she competed in Sunday, Natalie Coughlin broke her own world record in the 100-meter backstroke, lowering the world mark by 0.2 seconds. Coughlin finished the race with a time of 56.51 seconds. Coughlin's mark was the first sub-1:00 time of the year and only the second all time. She now owns three of the top five times in the event.
