History looks set to be made as three record-breakers take to the pool in the Women's 100m Backstroke final. Kaylee McKeown, Kylie Masse and Regan Smith will be in adjacent lanes representing Australia, Canada and the United States respectively, having each set new Olympic records for the event this week. Will McKeown's own WR be the next record to tumble? Read on as we explain how to get a Women's 100m Backstroke final live stream and watch 2020 Olympics swimming online from anywhere - and where you can watch absolutely free of charge.
Masse was the first to break Emily Seebohm's nine-year-old record, shaving 0.06 seconds of the Aussie's time, before Smith went even better, followed by McKeown, followed by Smith again.
The Minnesotan, who holds the world record in the 200m backstroke, came within 0.41 seconds off the fastest time ever set in the event, 57.45 seconds, which McKeown did at the Australian Olympic trials in June.
The previous world record holder? You guessed it - a certain Regan Smith.
It's shaping up to be an event for the ages, as three swimming sensations battle it out for Olympic supremacy - and possibly even more. Read on for how to watch the Women's 100m Backstroke final online and live stream Olympics swimming from anywhere today.

How to watch Olympics swimming from outside your country
You should be able to find an Olympics swimming live stream (whether paid or free) in whatever country you happen to be in. But you may find that: a) your usual domestic coverage is geo-blocked when overseas; or b) that your place of work or college has blocked the ability to watch online where you are.
There's a really easy way to solve those issues, thankfully. By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer, phone or tablet into thinking that it's somewhere completely different. That way you can enjoy your usual coverage without having to find an illegal stream.
