Olympic Swimming 2024: Women's 100M Butterfly Medal Winners, Times and Results

Torri Huske edged out Gretchen Walsh in the women's 100-meter butterfly in a race dominated by American swimmers.

Huske beat Walsh at the wall by four-hundredths of a second to earn her first-ever Olympic gold medal.

Huske and Walsh's one-two inside Paris La Defense Arena marked the first time at the 2024 Summer Olympics in which the United States had two medal winners from the same event.

Results

1. Torri Huske (United States) - 55.59 seconds

2. Gretchen Walsh (United States) - 55.63

3. Zhang Yufei (China) - 56.21

4. Angelina Koehler (Germany) - 56.42

5. Maggie MacNeil (Canada) - 56.44

6. Emma McKeon (Australia) - 56.93

7. Mizuki Hirai (Japan) - 57.19

8. Louise Hansson (Sweden) - 57.34

Huske and Walsh were ahead of their competitors for most of the 100-meter race.

Huske's win came three years after she barely missed out on a medal at the Tokyo Olympics. She was one-hundredth of a second off the podium.

The win gave Huske her first gold medal. She medaled twice previously in team events. She was on the silver-medal winning 4x100-meter freestyle team on Saturday along with Walsh.

Walsh, the current world-record holder in the event, was four-hundredths off beating her teammate in Sunday's duel.

Although Huske is an accomplished swimmer in her own right, the result was viewed as a slight upset because of Walsh's world-record time.

China's Zhang Yufei, who finished second in Tokyo, collected the bronze medal ahead of a loaded field that included 2020 gold medalist Maggie MacNeil and Tokyo bronze medalist Emma McKeon.
