TOKYO – For the first time since the Olympic Games 2000 Sydney, two US women (Lilly King and Annie Lazor) claimed medals in the women's 200m Breaststroke at the Olympic Games 2020 Tokyo on Thursday night at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.
King took the silver, while Lazor secured bronze in the event.
Through six days in the pool, the Hoosiers have collected eight total medals (2G, 4S, 2B). As a University, IU athletes have produced 112 total medals – 57 gold, 21 silver, and 34 bronze.
WOMEN'S 200M BREASTSTROKE
Lilly King earned her second medal of the Olympics by taking silver in the women's 200m Breaststroke with a personal best time of 2:19.92. The time is the 15th fastest time ever in the event and the second quickest time ever posted by an American swimmer.
King is the 17th swimmer in Olympic history to win medals in both breaststroke events in the Olympics and is the fifth American to accomplish the feat.

Lazor and King earned the 13th and 14th Olympic medals in US swimming history in the event, respectively. The Americans have posted four golds, seven silvers, and three bronze medals in the event.
