The women's 50 metre freestyle event at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held from 3 to 4 August 2024 at the Olympic Aquatics Centre at Paris La Défense Arena. [1]

Sweden's Sarah Sjöström was the favourite going into the event, and set a new Olympic record of 23.66 seconds in the semifinal to qualify as top seed. In the final, Sjöström won gold, Meg Harris won silver and Zhang Yufei won bronze, finishing ahead of Gretchen Walsh by 0.01 seconds. Slovenia's Neža Klančar set new national records in her heat, semifinal and in the final, which she qualified for despite originally being seeded 23rd.

Background

Going into the competition, three of the top four finishers at the 2020 games were not competing. SwimSwam and Swimming World opined that Sweden's Sarah Sjöström was the favourite, with her having set the world record of 23.61 at the 2023 World Swimming Championships and owning the 27 fastest times among all swimmers potentially competing in the race. [2] [3] Four days before the event started, Sjöström had won the 100 metre freestyle. [4]

Qualification

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). [5] For this event, the OQT was 24.70 seconds. World Aquatics then filled the rest of the event places with 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. [5] [6] In total, 24 athletes qualified through achieving the OQT, while 55 athletes qualified through universality places. [6]

Heats

10 heats took place on 3 August 2024, starting at 11:00. [a] The swimmers with the best 16 times in the heats advanced to the semifinals. [7] Sarah Sjöström clocked 23.85 seconds, qualifying with the fastest seed and only swim under 24 seconds. Katarzyna Wasick and Gretchen Walsh qualified with the second and third seeds respectively. Simone Manuel from the United States did not qualify for the semifinals. [8] Kenya's Maria Brunlehner and Slovenia's Neža Klančar set national records of 25.82 and 24.64 seconds respectively.

Final

The final took place at 18:30 on 4 August. [19] Sarah Sjöström had the fastest reaction time of 0.61 seconds, but stated after the race that she dove too deep and resurfaced at around 12 metres. Gretchen Walsh had the slowest reaction time of 0.75 seconds, but her longer 15 metre underwater meant that she surfaced in first place, 0.12 seconds ahead of Sjöström and 0.30 seconds ahead of Zhang Yufei in third. [20]

Walsh held her lead until 25 metres, where she was overtaken by Sjöström, who extended her lead over most of the field until the finish. At 25 metres, Shayna Jack had overtaken Yufei, placing her in third position, while Meg Harris had the fastest split over the 15–25 metre segment which elevated her to fourth. [20]

At the 45 metre mark, Sjöström was 0.34 seconds ahead of the field. Harris had further elevated herself to second place and pushed Walsh to third, with Jack having dropped to seventh. [20] Sjöström and Harris retained these positions over the last five metres, finishing in first and second respectively. [21] Yufei was 0.06 seconds behind Walsh at the 45 metre mark, but overtook her in the last five metres to take third by 0.01 seconds. [20] Klančar set another Slovenian national record of 24.35 seconds. [10]
