The women's 100 metre freestyle event at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held on 30 and 31 July 2024 at Paris La Défense Arena, which was converted to a swimming pool for the swimming events. [1] Since an Olympic size swimming pool is 50 metres long, this race consisted of two lengths of the pool.
Prior to this competition, the existing world and Olympic records were as follows:
World record | ![]() | 51.71 | Budapest, Hungary | 23 July 2017 |
Olympic record | ![]() | 51.96 | Tokyo, Japan | 30 July 2021 |
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) was permitted to enter a maximum of two qualified athletes in each individual event, but only if both of them had attained the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT). [2] For this event, the OQT was 53.61 seconds. World Aquatics then considered athletes qualifying through universality; NOCs were given one event entry for each gender, which could be used by any athlete regardless of qualification time, providing the spaces had not already been taken by athletes from that nation who had achieved the OQT. [2] [3] Finally, the rest of the spaces were filled by athletes who had met the Olympic Consideration Time (OCT), which was 53.88 for this event. [2] In total, 14 athletes qualified through achieving the OQT, 14 athletes qualified through universality places and one athlete qualified through achieving the OCT. [3]
