Paris Olympics Swimming: In a thrilling display of speed and teamwork, the United States secured gold in the mixed 4×100 metres medley relay with a dazzling world record time at the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
The American team clocked an impressive 3 minutes 37.43 seconds, smashing the previous record of 3:37.58 set by Great Britain at the 2021 Tokyo Games.
This victory was particularly notable as it marked the end of France’s Leon Marchand’s undefeated streak in finals at the Paris meet. Marchand, who has already captured four gold medals, swam the second leg for the French team, which ultimately finished in fourth place.
China took home the silver, and Australia clinched the bronze in this high-stakes race. The dramatic final showcased the best of Olympic swimming, with the U.S. team leading the charge and setting a new benchmark for future competitors.
