While Australia had been dominating many events in both men’s and women’s swimming thus far, Mollie O’Callaghan and Shayna Jack couldn’t find the podium as they finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
Haughey touched the wall just one-hundredth of a second before O’Callaghan in a thrilling finish.

For her career, Huske has four Olympic medals after winning bronze in the 2020 Tokyo Games in the 4x100-meter medley relay.

Huske and Walsh, though, were able to capture gold and silver, respectively, in the women’s 100-meter butterfly final earlier in these Summer Games.
With this silver-medal finish, Huske’s Olympic Games are expected to be complete, and she has to be happy having medaled in all three of them.
