The qualification for the Olympic women's 100m backstroke has ended. Aynura Primova finished third in her heat with a time of 1:10.17, but this was not enough to reach the semi-finals.

The 16 athletes with the best times advanced to the semi-finals. The 17-year-old Turkmen swimmer, who made her debut at the Paris Olympics, took 35th place overall, ending the fight for medals.

Primova became one of the youngest participants in the Olympic swimming competitions.

It is worth noting that at the 2023 World Junior Championships, she set three national records in backstroke: 50 m - 31.60, 100 m - 1:07.67, 200 m - 2:29.24.
