World Record: Nancy Ramey, United States 1:09.1 Chicago, United States 2nd August 1959 Olympic Record: Sheley Mann, United States 1:11.0 Melbourne, Australia 5 December 1956
The United States' women had swept the medals in this event at Melbourne, but would see no such dominance in Rome. The silver medalist from Melbourne, American Nancy Ramey, had set the last two world records in this event, and won the 1959 Pan American gold medal. But she did not make the United States' team. In her absence the gold medal went to Carolyn Schuler of the United States who won easily over Dutchwoman Marianne Heemskerk and Australia's Jan Andrew. American 14-year-old Carolyn Wood was near the lead in the final at 70 metres, but swallowed water and had to stop.
