Seemingly a repeat of the hurdles race, with Bomi, Bora and Ga Eun in the final, together with Eunji who won the 100m outdoor race at the last meet. Another thrilling race which was won by Ga Eun as she simply powered her way from the start to finish to win the gold medal.

Nine Muses, Jewelry (Eunji, Ye Won, Kyung Lee, Lee Saem)

-�50m Swim:

It looked to be another neck-to-neck final race after first-time participant, Minha had pipped the defending champion, Woori in the qualifying round. And it proved to be indeed a thrilling final race as Minha led Woori before the latter managed to catch up and it was simply too close to call. In the end, Woori just about managed to hold off the competition to win her 2nd consecutive gold medal at the swim event. Minha surprisingly ended up 3rd as she did not touch the panel at the end hard enough to register her timing. Despite flying off the blocks the latest, Rania's T-ae came in second.

Rainbow's Woori - 44.41s
Rania's T-ae - 46.98s
Nine Muses' Minha - 47.70s
