It was a bit of an unexpected result in the Women's 100 Butterfly today. Gretchen Walsh (USA) started the day holding both the Olympic and World Records and went into the finale as the odds-on favorite. She seemed to have the race, barely, in hand until the final twenty meters. In her last couple of strokes Torri Huske (USA) managed to get to the wall first. Huske lost out of a medal in Tokyo by one hundredth of a second, today she won Gold by the same measure. Walsch seemed equally thrilled for her teammate as she was to take Silver herself. During the medal ceremony Huske brought Walsch up on the top step of the podium as their national anthem played.
