NANTERRE, France — From the outside lane, American swimmer Torri Huske pulled off an absolute stunner to win silver in the women’s 100-meter freestyle final Wednesday night at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Sweden’s Sarah Sjöström hit the wall for gold with a time of 52.16, while Huske won silver with a 52.29 and Siobhan Bernadette Haughey of Hong Kong earned bronze with a 52.33 at Paris La Défense Arena.
This is the second individual medal of the Paris Games for Huske following Sunday’s women’s 100-meter butterfly final, where Huske won her first Olympic gold.
Both 21-year-old swimmers were also part of Team USA’s silver medal-winning 4×100-meter freestyle relay team in Paris.
The women’s 100 free final featured two of the fastest 100 freestylers of all time: world record holder Sjöström of Sweden and Hong Kong’s Haughey, who posted the third-fasted 100 free time ever last year. In a tight finish, all eight swimmers were separated by a fraction of a second.
