Women’s 200 Butterfly

Emily Large of Great Britain swam a consistent 200 back for the gold with a final time of 2:07.74. She was out the fastest in the field at 1:00.96, which gave her the edge over some of her charging competitors in the back half. This was over a full second drop from Large’s previous best time.

Japan’s Suzuka Hasegawa came in for the silver medal at 2:08.29, exactly two seconds off her lifetime best. She was almost two seconds faster than her morning swim, but ran out of room to chase down Large this time around. Large’s teammate Keanna Macinnes earned the bronze medal in 2:09.64, her first time breaking 2:10.

Canada’s Mabel Zavaros accomplished the same feat, coming in fourth in 2:09.79. She was followed by Germany’s Julia Mrozinski (2:11.18), China’s Huiyan Ye (2:11.86), Canada’s Victoria Kwan(2:12.48) and Hungary’s Boglarka Bonecz (2:12.50).
