Fate handed Ariana Kukors a golden opportunity at the 2009 World Championships. Her teammate withdrew from the 200m individual medley, and coaches tapped Ariana to step in. She leaped in! Not only did Ariana beat the defending Australian Olympic champion, she set a World Record for a breakthrough performance.
