200 metres Backstroke, Women

Date	11 – 12 August 2016
Status	Olympic
Location	Estádio Aquático Olímpico, Parque Olímpico da Barra, Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro
Participants	28 from 20 countries

Australian Emily Seebohm had won the 2015 World Championships and ranked #2 on the world list coming into Rio, trailing only her countrywoman Belinda Hocking. Missy Franklin was the world record holder and defending gold medalist, but had not been the same swimmer since back injuries had slowed her in 2014. Other contenders were Hungary’s Katinka Hosszú, who had already won the 100 back, and American Maya DiRado, the US Olympic Trials Champion.

DiRado, who was retiring after the Rio Olympics, came through to win a very close gold medal over Hosszú, as DiRado finished in 2:05.99 with Hosszú at 2:06.05. Canada’s Hilary Caldwell won the bronze medal, repeating her finish at the 2015 World Championships and the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
