Debra Daniel of Pohnpei topped the heat 2 of the women’s 50 meters freestyle qualifying heats at the Aquatics Center at the London Olympic Games around ten o’clock on August 3.
Daniel surged ahead at around 20 meters into the race and extended her lead to finish in first place with a time of 30.32 seconds that bettered the time for the second placer by more than one second. Daniel explained later that this was her best time in the event.
If this were in athletics, Daniel would have advanced to the next round. Instead, based on swimming regulations, only the best 16 times in all the heats moved on to the semi-finals. Daniel was ranked at number 56 after the qualifying heats.
