New Zealand swimmer Melissa Ingram has carried on her winning ways in the Fina Arena World Cup in Tokyo.
Ingram, from Swimming New Zealand's High Performance centre, has won the women's 200m backstroke in a repeat performance after her victory at Beijing earlier in the week.
The 26-year-old dominated the final in a strong display, hitting the front after 50m and holding off all challengers to win in 2min 03.39sec, only four tenths of a second outside her New Zealand record set in the Beijing win.
She only qualified in sixth fastest in the morning heats in 2:07.75, saving herself for a major push in the final where she beat off the challenge from local Japanese swimmers Sayaka Akase and Marie Kamimura.
Ingram will compete in the 100m backstroke and 400m freestyle in tonight's session, which brings an end to the World Cup series.
