The 50m freestyle is one of the most exciting events in swimming due to its extremely short length. Just one trip down the pool however you can do it the fastest is the only rule for these athletes in this intense event.

McKeon is already a gold medalist in this Olympics at the 4x100 relay and also won the gold for the 100m freestyle.

The Aussies set the world record in their relay-winning run and will look to replicate that speed individually even further.

Campbell was also on that relay-winning team and won bronze in the 100 to go along with her six career Olympic medals.

Those looking to bet on the Olympics can also find odds for the medley relay, where Team USA is a slight favorite over Australia.
