Leisel Jones of Australia wins the gold in the women's 100 meter Breaststroke final with a time of 1:05.17. The world record holder and world champion was easily fastest into the finals and extended her powerful form with an Olympic Record swim to touch comfortably for gold.

She started out fast and turned at the 50m mark 0.20 seconds under the world record split, but was unable to hold that pace, fading in the last 15 meters to just miss the mark.
This Olympic crown will be extra sweet for Jones who has dominated women's Breaststroke since 2005 but came away from the Athens 2004 Olympic Games with a disappointing bronze.

Rebecca Soni of USA, who qualified second for the final, finished behind Jones to take the silver in a time of 1:06.73.
Mirna Jukic of Austria qualified third fastest for the final and took the bronze medal in a time of 1:07.34.
Jones will attempt to clean sweep the Women's Breaststroke events and given her form since 2005 - and at these Games - few would bet against her.
