200 metres Butterfly, Women

Status	Olympic
Location	Estádio Aquático Olímpico, Parque Olímpico da Barra, Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro
Participants	27 from 20 countries

Swimming World magazine called the race wide open and listed seven different swimmers as medal contenders. The 2015 World Champion was Japan’s Natsumi Hoshi, while Australian Madeline Groves had the top time of the year coming into Rio with 2:05.47. The magazine called Spain’s Mireia Belmonte a “wild card” but in the end she would take gold, narrowly outtouching Groves in 2:04.85 to 2:04.88. Hoshi came in for the bronze medal. One swimmer who would have challenged for gold was Hungarian Katinka Hosszú but she could not swim the race because of schedule conflicts as the 200 fly semis and 200 IM finals were on the same night.
