PARIS (Reuters) – The United States smashed their own world record in the women’s 4×100 medley relay to close the swimming meet at the Paris Olympics with the gold medal on Sunday.
Australia took the silver and China the bronze.
The U.S quartet of Regan Smith, Lilly King, Gretchen Walsh and Torri Huske touched out with a final time of three minutes 49.63 seconds at the La Defense Arena.
The previous record of 3:50.40 was set by the United States at the world championships in Gwangju, South Korea, in July 2019.
