Final
In a tight battle, the Netherlands’ Ranomi Kromowidjojo shot out to a fast start and just held on for the win over 2017 Female Swimmer of the Year Sarah Sjöström. The 24-year-old Sjöström is not having her best meet here in Copenhagen, after dominating the World Cup circuit and the long course scene before that — she is still yet to win a gold medal here after three nights of racing. Denmark’s poster girl, Pernille Blume, swam into bronze.
