A world record from the Dolphins\u2019 400 freestyle relay. A pair of gold medals from <strong>Ariarne Titmus<\/strong>. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-kaylee-mckeown-dedicates-100-back-olympic-gold-to-inspirational-father-regan-smith-snares-bronze\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">title from <strong>Kaylee McKeown<\/strong><\/a>. And there is \u2013 almost surely \u2013 more to come.<\/p>\n<p>In the preliminaries of the 100-meter freestyle, <strong>Emma McKeon<\/strong> ripped an Olympic record of 52.13, good for the eighth-fastest time in history, to secure the top seed for the semifinals. Already a member of Australia&#8217;s gold-medal 800 freestyle relay and the bronze medalist in the 100 butterfly, McKeon is riding a wave of momentum. She will be joined in the semifinals by countrywoman <strong>Cate Campbell<\/strong>, who went 52.80 for the fourth seed.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that McKeon emerged from prelims as the fastest performer was hardly a shock, given that she split 51.35 in the 400 freestyle relay. She was followed in the second position by Hong Kong&#8217;s <strong>Siobhan Haughey<\/strong>, who went 52.70 while following up a silver medal in the 200 freestyle during the morning session. The third seed is Great Britain&#8217;s <strong>Anna Hopkin<\/strong>, who clocked a British record of 52.75.<\/p>\n<p>In fifth was Sweden&#8217;s <strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong>, the world-record holder who is looking sharp despite suffering a fractured elbow earlier this year that interrupted her training. Sjostrom touched in 52.91, just ahead of the 52.95 of Canada&#8217;s <strong>Penny Oleksiak<\/strong>, who was the joint champion in the event in 2016, sharing the gold medal with <strong>Simone Manuel<\/strong>. Also dipping under the 53-second barrier was Denmark&#8217;s <strong>Pernille Blume<\/strong> in 52.96.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels OK; nothing comes for free and I really have to fight out there,&#8221; Sjostrom said. &#8220;Even if I feel a bit tired, I can still keep up the speed during the whole run, so I\u2019m happy with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A swimoff for the final spot in the semifinals was scheduled, due to the 16th-place tie at 53.71 between the Netherlands&#8217; <strong>Ranomi<\/strong> <strong>Kromowidjojo<\/strong> and France&#8217;s <strong>Marie Wattel<\/strong>. But Kromowidjojo, the 2012 Olympic champion in the event, opted to scratch and focus on the 50 freestyle later in the week.<\/p>\n<p>Canada&#8217;s <strong>Kayla Sanchez<\/strong>, who finished 10th, also scratched, so the\u00a0two swimmers who originally tied for 18th place, the USA&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Erika Brown<\/strong> and China&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Wu Qingfeng<\/strong>, swam off for the last spot. Brown dominated that swim-off, winning 53.51 to 54.47.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women&#8217;s 100 Freestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>World Record:<\/strong> Sarah Sjostrom, Sweden, 51.71 (2017)<br \/>\n<strong>Olympic Record:<\/strong> Sarah Sjostrom, Sweden, 52.62 (2021)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semifinalists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
