McKeown cruised to a time of 2:08.18, which gave her the top seed ahead of Canada&#8217;s <strong>Kylie Masse<\/strong> and the United States&#8217; <strong>Rhyan White<\/strong>. Masse and White posted identical times of 2:08.23.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the meet, McKeown made the decision to drop the 200 individual medley from her program and focus on chasing a backstroke sweep. If she can successfully navigate two more rounds of the 200 back, that decision will look genius. With her victory in the 100 backstroke, McKeown became the first Australian female to win the Olympic title in that event, and she will now try to become the first Aussie woman to win the 200 back.<\/p>\n<p>American <strong>Phoebe Bacon<\/strong> advanced as the fourth seed in 2:08.30, followed by China&#8217;s <strong>Liu Yaxin<\/strong> in 2:08.36. Also going under 2:09 was Canada&#8217;s <strong>Taylor Ruck<\/strong>, who stopped the clock in 2:08.87. China&#8217;s <strong>Peng Xuwei<\/strong> (2:09.03) was seventh while Australia&#8217;s <strong>Emily<\/strong> <strong>Seebohm<\/strong> and Hungary&#8217;s <strong>Katalin Burian<\/strong> tied for eighth in 2:09.10.<\/p>\n<p>Although she is in Tokyo and has medaled in the 100 backstroke and 200 butterfly, world-record holder <strong>Regan Smith<\/strong> was not part of the 200 backstroke. At the United States Trials, Smith surprisingly finished outside of the top-two to miss qualifying for the Games in her best event.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women&#8217;s 200 Backstroke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>World Record:<\/strong> Regan Smith, United States, 2:03.35 (2019)<br \/>\n<strong>Olympic Record:<\/strong> Missy Franklin, United States, 2:04.06 (2012)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semifinalists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
