The story
Domenico Fioravanti won the men's 200m breaststroke gold medal in swimming at Sydney 2000 on 20 September 2000. The title went to Italy, with the competition held at Sydney International Aquatic Centre, Australia. The winning time was 2:10.87.
How it unfolded
Terence Parkin (South Africa) took silver with 2:12.50; Davide Rummolo (Italy) took bronze with 2:12.73.
The wider picture
The final was contested in a 50-metre pool, making this 200-metre event a race over 4 lengths. Swimmers had to complete the specified distance and comply with the rules for breaststroke. 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.
