Olympic Swimming 2016: Women's 100M Breaststroke Medal Winners, Times, Results

Indiana Hoosiers star Lilly King was an NCAA champion this year, and she's an Olympic champion after winning the 100-meter breaststroke with a final time of one minute, 4.93 seconds at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro on Monday.

The 19-year-old American got off to a strong start and barely held off defending world champion Yulia Efimova of Russia. Fellow United States competitor Katie Meili came in third, while defending Olympic gold medalist Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania managed just a seventh-place finish.

Medal	Swimmer	Country	Time
Gold	Lilly King	United States	1:04.93
Silver	Yulia Efimova	Russia	1:05.50
Bronze	Katie Meili	United States	1:05.69

This event was one of the most hyped of the Olympic Games thanks to the out-of-water storylines.

Efimova was twice banned for using illegal substances before surprisingly being reinstated shortly ahead of the start of the Rio Games, according to Nicole Auerbach of USA Today. Auerbach also noted there has been no official explanation as to why the Russian was allowed to compete.

However, King showed her disapproval of her competitor during the semifinals:

"You’re shaking your finger 'No. 1,' and you’ve been caught for drug cheating," the American explained on NBC (via Nathan Fenno of the Los Angeles Times). "I’m not a fan."

There was a similar reaction from the gallery as the Russian was introduced Monday night, per Auerbach:

This all built up to Monday's final, which saw King fearlessly attack the opening lap and, despite a strong finish from Efimova, come away with an impressive victory decided by 0.57 seconds.

King sent a not-so-subtle message to her competitor after the race as well, per Mike Miller of the Herald-Times:

ESPN's Mike Golic was one King's many new fans:

Meanwhile, Meili also earned a spot on the podium thanks to her surprising third-place finish after posting just the fifth-best time in the semifinals.

King and Efimova will get another chance to go head-to-head in Rio, as both are set to compete in the 200-meter breaststroke. The heats for that event will begin Aug. 10, with the final set for Aug. 11. With the way these rivals can compete, you might want to mark you calendars for the rematch.
