Women’s 200 Breast Semi-Finals:<\/h3>\n

Four years after the USA’s\u00a0Rebecca Soni<\/strong> won Olympic gold in the women’s 200 breast, the USA has failed to qualify anyone for the final of the event. This will be the first Olympic Games since the 1992 Barcelona Games that an American has not medaled in this event.<\/p>\n

Australia’s\u00a0Taylor McKeown\u00a0<\/strong>powered to a 2:21.69 in heat two of the 200 breast to claim the top seed. Japan’s\u00a0Rie Kaneto<\/strong> posted the second fastest time of the semi-finals with a time of 2:22.11, just ahead of Great Britain’s\u00a0Molly Renshaw<\/strong> (2:22.33).<\/p>\n

The close finishes continued with China’s\u00a0Shi Jinglin\u00a0<\/strong>turning in a 2:22.37 for the fourth place seed.<\/p>\n

Denmark’s\u00a0Rikke Pedersen<\/strong> finished fifth overall in semi-finals with a time of 2:22.45, and is the current World Record holder with a 2:19.11 from the 2013 Barcelona World Championships.<\/p>\n

Starting out slow but accelerating to a quick finish was Russia’s\u00a0Yulia Efimova<\/strong> who returns as sixth with a 2:22.52.<\/p>\n

Great Britain’s\u00a0Chloe Tutton<\/strong> (2:22.71) and Canada’s\u00a0Kierra Smith<\/strong> (2:22.87) finished seventh and eighth respectively.<\/p>\n
