Madeline Groves of Australia jumped to an early lead in finals of the 200 butterfly, leading by 3/4 of a body length at the 50-meter mark. Spain’s Mireia Belmonte refused to let Groves out of her sight, however, quickly gaining on her at the 100 and pulling ahead by the 150-meter mark. Belmonte, the short course record holder in this event and the silver medalist in 2012, never let up, powering home in a 2:04.85 to claim her first Olympic gold medal and the first Olympic gold for Spain in this event.
Groves gained on Belmonte in the final 25-meters but was unable to top her, stopping just .03 seconds behind with a 2:04.88.
Japan’s Natsumi Hoshi delivered a powerful back-half to gain on the two leaders and win bronze with a time of 2:05.20.
