The underdog tag was a motivator for US women, as well. They looked even more vulnerable than the men, but emerged with the same seven gold medals and swept the three relays. That allowed the US women to weather the onslaught of Inge de Bruijn, who set three world records in grabbing three gold medals in the 5om and 100m free and 100m butterfly. Thanks to van den Hoogenband and de Bruijn, the Netherlands finished with the same five-gold tally as Australia. All rights reserved.
