The story
Lars Frölander won the men's 100m butterfly gold medal in swimming at Sydney 2000 on 22 September 2000. The title went to Sweden, with the competition held at Sydney International Aquatic Centre, Australia. The winning time was 52.00 seconds.
How it unfolded
Michael Klim (Australia) took silver with 52.18 seconds; Geoff Huegill (Australia) took bronze with 52.22 seconds.
The wider picture
The final was contested in a 50-metre pool, making this 100-metre event a race over 2 lengths. Swimmers had to complete the specified distance and comply with the rules for butterfly. Heats and, for the shorter events, semi-finals determined the final field; medals were decided by the final itself. Split times show the progress of a swim, but the finishing time established the medal order. This title was separate from relay medals and from results over other distances.
