The Netherlands captured the mixed 400-meter medley relay title at the 2016 European Championships.

Sebastiaan Verschuren (48.64), Ben Schwietert (49.03), Maud van der Meer (53.70) and Ranomi Kromowidjojo (52.27) turned in a meet record of 3:23.64. That’s well clear of Italy’s 2014 mark of 3:25.02 and challenged USA’s world record of 3:23.05 from 2015 in Kazan.

Italy’s Filippo Magnini (49.35), Luca Dotto (47.94), Erika Ferraioli (54.35) and Federica Pellegrini (52.91) took second in 3:24.55.

France’s Clement Mignon (49.26), Jeremy Stravius (48.29), Charlotte Bonnet (53.44) and Anna Santamans (54.50) claimed third in 3:25.49.

Sweden (3:27.26), Hungary (3:29.61), Turkey (3:31.07), Norway (3:33.32) and Estonia (3:35.53) comprised the rest of the final.
