New Zealand swimmer Melissa Ingram has won the final of the 200-metre backstroke at the FINA World Cup series in Moscow.

Ingram was second at 50 metres but took control at the halfway mark to win in two minutes four .93 seconds.

The win was only 2/10ths outside her national short course record.

She also finished fifth in the 200-metre freestyle.

It was her seventh win in the World Cup where she's currently fourth overall on points for women, with tomorrow's 400-metre freestyle to come and two further rounds in Stockholm and Berlin remaining.
