The women’s 200 breaststroke held close together for much of the race, being highlighted by a close field of athletes. Australia’s Taylor Mckeown jumped to an early lead, splitting a 1:07.99 at the 100 to lead the field, but was unable to hold off a fast approaching Rie Kaneto of Japan.
Kaneto turned up the heat to charge ahead and claim a decisive win of 2:20.30, more than a second and a half ahead of the competition.
Swimming a much quicker first half than her prelims and semi-finals swims was Yulia Efimova of Russia. Efimova never lost touch with the competition, making her move at the 150 mark to gain ground on Kaneto and finish second with a 2:21.97.
China’s Shin Jinglin picked up third overall with a final time of 2:22.28, good for bronze.
