We'll bring you out the finalists of the women's 100 meter freestyle and Nick as we highlighted This is such a stacked field. Here is Gretchen Walsh from the USA She's won a silver medal here in the 100 meters butterfly Gifted this 100 freestyle with the withdrawal of one of her teammates after trials and now she finds herself in a final The Americans bookend this field as Tori Husk down in lane number one She already has a silver medal for the 4x100 free relay and that gold in the hundred fly The last time a world record holder won Olympic gold was in 2008 Britta Steffen Sarah Sjostrom is chasing that same mark. She is the world record holder from Sweden Lane number two from the Netherlands the current world champion in this distance Merit Steenbergen 4x200 freestyle gold medalist from Tokyo. This is a young Jiangxi from China 22 years of age. She's already won gold in Tokyo fifth in the 200 meters free final Moving more towards the center of the field and the pool from Australia Molly O'Callaghan two golds already that great 203 win and of course the Australian 4x100 free relay world champion at this distance in 2023 Bronze medalist in 2024 at the World Championships the all-time number 10 in the history of this event. It's Shana Jack from Australia She's already won gold in the 4x100 freestyle relay here in Paris And the middle lane the top seed a bronze medal already in the 200 free representing Hong Kong Siobhan You cannot afford to make a mistake in this two-lap sprint Perfect from start to finish. No, you're right Nick That really is it's whoever makes the least amount of mistakes in an aggressive manner. Exactly, right? You'll see some different tactics. We know Molly O'Callaghan comes home fast Shana Jack will go out strong the world record holder in the 50 freestyle is Sarah Sjostrom in seven She will go out fast. So to Gretchen Walsh. She went out very fast in the fly final and semi-final Women's hundred meter free. This is the final We will have three medalists after two laps as predicted Gretchen Walsh is the best starter over in lane number one But across on the other side as well lane number one Tori Husker bookending with the two USA swimmers Walsh in eight and Tori Husker in one Well, you mentioned that Molly O'Callaghan usually swims this from behind and she is almost dead last at the 50 It is husk coffee Walsh Separated by 15 one hundredths of a second Look at that underwater from Gretchen Walsh at the bottom and the underwater from O'Callaghan as well Tori Husker leading on the outside. I expect she's gonna fade. He is having a blinder of a swim. Here comes O'Callaghan Okay set to 20 24 Second goes to Merit Steenbergen Molly O'Callaghan. I Apologize second to Tori Husker and it's Siobhan Hardy with the bronze What a performance from the 30 year old That was incredible. She only entered the hundred freestyle at the cutoff of the entries She was not going to race it It was a late entry and now she walks away as Olympic champion 52 1 6 What an incredible performance as we rewatch The 100 meters freestyle for women. She was fourth at the 50 meter mark Sarah shows from there She is with the yellow cap third from the right hand side. So I thought that was the 50 meter split apologies She's on the other side for the touch Sarah showstrom her world record intact and now an Olympic gold medalist in the hundred meter freestyle Able to turn two laps into gold a priceless performance at the perfect time Showstrom wins it Tori husk from the u.s. Silver and Siobhan ha he gets the bronze
