Since there were only 16 competitors in the women\u2019s 200 butterfly after a late scratch before prelims, all 16 advanced to the semifinals at the Tokyo Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

It is a different vibe than most Olympic races ever have.<\/p>\n

But only eight would survive the semifinals and reach the finals as the mentality of racing the event completely changed overnight.<\/p>\n

With much more on the line, the times got considerably faster. China\u2019s Zhang Yufei<\/strong> won the second semifinal heat and took the top seed going into finals at 2:04.89. She was more than a second faster than the rest of the field.<\/p>\n

USA\u2019s Hali Flickinger<\/strong> took the second seed in 2:06.23, ahead of Hungary\u2019s Boglarka Kapas<\/strong> (2:06.59) and USA\u2019s Regan Smith (2:06.64).<\/p>\n

Kapas won the world championship in 2019 ahead of Flickinger, though Flickinger had the top time of the meet in the world semis. They each have a ton of international experience, which will be a factor.<\/p>\n

It should be a pretty interesting race as Yufei will look to keep up that pace and Flickinger, Kapas and Smith will look to turn on the jets a little more, especially on the back half of the race.<\/p>\n

The Olympic Finalists<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Zhang Yufei, China, 2:04.89
\n2. Hali Flickinger, USA, 2:06.23
\n3. Boglarka Kapas, Hungary, 2:06.59
\n4. Regan Smith, USA, 2:06.64
\n5. Yu Liyan, China, 2:07.04
\n6. Brianna Throssell, Australia, 2:08.41
\n7. Svetlana Chimrova, 2:08.62
\n8. Alys Margaret Thomas, Great Britain, 2:09.07<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s 200 Butterfly<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 World record: Liu Zige, China, 2:01.81 (2009)
\n\u2022 Olympic record: Jiao Liuyang, China, 2:04.06 (2012)<\/p>\n

The Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

With 17 swimmers entered, and a late scratch<\/a> from Katinka Hosszu<\/strong>, all it took was a legal finish to make Wednesday morning\u2019s semifinal. All 16 swimmers, from top seed Zhang Yufei in 2:07.50 to Honduras\u2019 Julimar Avila<\/strong> in a best time of 2:15.36, duly obliged to set the field.<\/p>\n

Yufei won the third and final heat with ease in a dominant time. Hali Flickinger of the United States had won the previous heat eight tenths slower.<\/p>\n

\u201cUm, it\u2019s interesting,\u201d Flickinger said. \u201cBut I just wanted to get up and swim a decent race tonight to get ready for tomorrow morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each had a compatriot in the top four, with Yu Liyan outdueling 100 back bronze medalist Regan Smith in the first heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
