Fabiola Molina just missed the olympic (1:02.90) cut in the prelims with her 1:03.12, breaking her continental record by 3 hundreths. The pressure was enormous in her main final, with all swimmers cheering. Her 1:03.64 (30.99) may not be the last opportunity to Sydney, as Coaracy Nunes, the president of the Brazilian Federation, was talking about the medley relay. That might be good for her, but it is very problematic, as others swimmers could ask for the same opportunity. Laura Crespo was second in 1:04.93 (31.51), and Talita Ribeiro, 15, was third in 1:05.69 (32.04). The Flamengo team had their first 1-2 finish of the championships.

In the mens, Rogerio Romero equalled the meet record of 56.18, which Alexandre Massura who was second 56.40 (27.54), set last year. Paulo Machado was third with 56.45 (27.72).
