The U.S. women begin their quest for an eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal. The Americans, ranked No. 1 in the world, play No. 9 Japan. The U.S. and Japan are grouped with Germany and Belgium in the tournament.

Ryan Murphy has been one of the best backstrokers in the world, claiming gold at the 2023 world championships in the 100-meter back. He also took silver in the 200 back at worlds and led off the USA’s gold-medal winning 4×100 medley relay. At the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Murphy swept the gold medals in the 100 and 200 back. He comes into Paris with six Olympic medals.

It could be a big night in the pool for the Americans. Lilly King is a medal favorite in the women’s 100 breaststroke. King has won medals at the last two Olympics in the event (gold in Rio and bronze in Tokyo).
