Maya DiRado clinched her third individual event of the Rio Olympics with a victory in the 200-meter backstroke at the U.S. swimming trials, beating defending gold medalist Missy Franklin.

Franklin held on for the runner-up spot, good enough to ensure she'll at least get a chance to go for another gold next month.

DiRado has been a breakout star of the trials, following up her victories in the 200 and 400 individual medley with another dominating win in the backstroke.
