The Women's Swimming 100m Breaststroke Final on Day 4 is sure to provide us with thrill, excitement, a fascinating backstory, and of course, plenty of drama. All eyes will probably be on Lilly King and Yulia Efimova resuming their 'finger-wagging' rivalry from the 2016 Rio Olympics Final.

Lilly King had the last laugh in that final and she holds the World Record as well. However, Tatjana Schoenmaker stunned Lilly by breaking her Olympic Record in the Heats and is expected to stamp her authority in the final. Lydia Jacoby also has the ability to surprise.

Women's 100m Backstroke event will also be a major highlight. The Olympic Record fell thrice during the heats. It began with Canada's Kylie Masse breaking the older record of 58.23 before Regan Smith did her better with a sub-58s swim. Finally, reigning World Record holder Kaylee McKeown had the last laugh.

It remains to be seen whether the Olympic Record is broken again for the fourth time in the space of three days.
