Pellegrini's time was 0.63 seconds under the old world record mark. The swim was all the more impressive because of Pellegrini's heavy Beijing 2008 Olympic Games schedule.
Sara Isakovic of Slovenia, the fastest qualifier into the final on Tuesday, August 12, took silver in 1:54.97.
Katie Hoff of the United States, who qualified second fastest for the final, finished fourth in an Americas record time of 1:55.78.
Camelia Alina Potec of Romania, the defending Olympic champion, finished in fifth place in 1:56.87.
