Maggie MacNeil had the chance to defend her gold medal from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the women’s 100-meter butterfly, but the former LSU swimmer missed the podium after coming up short of a bronze medal on Sunday.

MacNeil ultimately finished fifth in the event with a time of 56.44, just 0.02 seconds behind fourth-place finisher Angelina Koehler from Germany. Americans Tori Huske (gold) and Gretchen Walsh (silver) and Chinese swimmer Yufei Zhang (bronze) rounded out the podium.

It’s a disappointing result for MacNeil, who was seen as being in a strong position to medal once again in the 100-meter fly. She ultimately finished 0.23 seconds shy of the podium.
