Great Britain’s Chris Walker-Hebborn (52.94), Adam Peaty (57.98), Siobhan Marie O’Connor (57.02) and Fran Halsall (53.77) put together a time of 3:41.71 for the top time. That swim broke the preliminary world record of 3:42.33 set by Team USA.

The Australians entered today with the world record at 3:46.52. Russia, USA and Great Britain then took turns dropping the world record.

USA could not replicate its preliminary speed. Ryan Murphy (53.31), Kevin Cordes (58.63), Katie McLaughlin (57.56) and Margo Geer (53.77) took second in 3:43.27.

Germany’s Jan-Philip Glania (53.52), Hendrik Feldwehr (59.16), Alexandra Wenk (57.21) and Annika Bruhn (54.24) took bronze in 3:44.13.

China (3:44.65), Russia (3:44.83), Italy (3:45.59), Canada (3:46.23) and Hungary (3:50.06) also swam in the finale.

Vlad Morozov, swimming with some extra motivation after a stunning false start disqualification in the men’s 100-meter free, anchored Russia with a 47.29.
