Canada remained on fire as the locals relegated Team USA to second for only the second time in Pan American Games history in the women’s 400-meter free relay.
The foursome of Sandrine Mainville (54.43), Michelle Williams (54.42), Katerine Savard (54.53) and Chantal Van Landeghem (53.42) overcame a battle with the Stars and Stripes to win in a Pan American Games record time of 3:36.80.
That performance downed the preliminary mark of 3:37.28 set by Team USA this morning. It also broke the Canadian record of 3:37.09 from 2013.
USA’s Allison Schmitt (54.46), Amanda Weir (54.79), Madison Kennedy (53.89) and Natalie Coughlin (53.87) settled for silver with a time of 3:37.01 just .21 seconds back, and under their prelim time.
Brazil’s Larissa Martins (54.67), Graciele Herrmann (54.72), Etiene Medeiros (53.99) and Daynara De Paula (54.01) took bronze in 3:37.39.
