Olympic Swimming 2024: Women's 200M Freestyle Medal Winners, Times and Results
Australia's Mollie O'Callaghan delivered one of the biggest upsets yet in the pool at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
She won the 200-meter freestyle to end the dominance of her Australian teammate Ariarne Titmus in the event. Titmus finished second, and Hong Kong's Siobhan Bernadette Haughey placed third.
O'Callaghan's winning time of 1:53.27 set a new Olympic record, besting Titmus' previous mark of 1:53.50 and just over one second shy of her world record of 1:52.23.
The full results are as follows:
- Mollie O'Callaghan (Australia)- 1:53.27
- Ariarne Titmus (Australia)- 1:53.81
- Siobhan Bernadette Haughey (Hong Kong)- 1:54.55
- Mary-Sophie Harvey (Canada)- 1:55.29
- Junxuan Yang (China)- 1:55.38
- Barbora Seemanova (Czech Republic)- 1:55.47
- Erika Fairweather (New Zealand)- 1:55.59
- Claire Weinstein (USA)- 1:56.60
Titmus entered Monday's final as the reigning champion, two-time 400-meter Olympic champion as well as the world and Olympic record holder in the 200-meter freestyle.
Titmus qualified with the best time for Monday's final and appeared ready to take home her second-ever individual double at the Summer Olympics.
Instead, O'Callaghan ended the hold that Titmus and Katie Ledecky, the 2016 gold medalist, had on the mid-range freestyle events at the Olympics. Titmus swept the 200 and 400 in Tokyo and Ledecky did the same thing in Rio de Janeiro.
