The U.S. women powered to a dominant lead early in the 4-by-100 meter medley relay on Sunday. The only real question was whether the swimmers would shatter the world record set by another U.S. American team in 2019.
They never relented, winning gold and beating the record by nearly a second with a time of 3:49.63. The Americans finished more than three seconds ahead of the Australian team that took silver. Chinese women won bronze.
The U.S. team was made up by Regan Smith, Lilly King, Gretchen Walsh and Torri Huske. The race capped a star-making performance in these Games for Huske, who won three gold and two silver medals.
The victory for the U.S. at the La Defense arena Sunday in the Paris suburbs capped a two-day streak of powerful performances by the American swim team after a slow start here.
