Men's 100m Backstroke Finals


Matthew Grevers was the fastest qualifier, Camile Lacourt and Liam Tancock behind him. Hayden Stoeckel was tied for Bronze at the last Olympic games. You have European record holders, past world record holders...it's really anyone's game! Lacourt turns first after 50m.

Grevers won silver in 2008. Guess everyone was overshadowed by Phelps in 2008. :( Grevers swam under the world record during the qualifications, he could have done it again, but olympic record is of course awesome as well. A well deserved win for Grevers.


Gold: Matthew Grevers (Usa) Olympic record
Silver: Nick Thoman (Usa)
Bronze: Ryosuke Irie (Jpn)


4. Camille Lacourt (Fra)
5. Liam Tancock (Gbr)
6. Helge Meeuw (Ger)
7. Hayden Stoeckel (Aus)
8. Cheng Fengyi (Chn)
