http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/SW/C73A1/SWW010101.shtml#SWW010101
Background:
WorldRecord Holder: Inge de Bruijn (Netherlands) - 24.13
Most Titles: The Netherlands (Two): Inge de Bruijn (2000/2004)
Notable: The women's 50 freestyle has only been contested in Olympic competition since 1988. Inge de Bruijn, the two-time defending champion, is retired so there will be some new blood on the top step of the podium. The only American to win the event was Amy Van Dyken, who earned gold in 1996.
