Sri Lanka's Ganga Seneviratne finished first, clocking a time of 1:04.26 secs in the first heat of the Women's 100m backstroke event at the Paris 2024 Olympics. 

However, Seneviratne finished outside the time of the top 16 swimmers in the heats, and therefore did not progress to the semi-finals, ranking 30th out of 36 swimmers.
