The German Dorothea Brandt finished at 24.27 seconds and the Danish Jeanette Ottesen Gray finished for Bronze at 24.33 seconds. Dutch Inge Dekker just missed a spot on the stage with 24.52 seconds. Dekker was unfortunate on Sunday. She also just missed the Bronze at the 100 meter butterfly. Another Dutch, Femke Heemskerk, won the silver medal for the 200 meter freestyle.
