The fast swims continued into night four as Team USA established a second World Record in the mixed 400 medley relay. The Americans changed tactics and relay members for the finals, choosing Matt Grevers, Lilly King, Kevin Cordes, and Simone Manuel – all Olympic gold medallists.

Adam Peaty continued his sprint breaststroke dominance with a second 50 breast under 26 seconds. Peaty delivered a 25.99 for his second gold of the meet.

Arguably one of the biggest stories of the night was Federica Pellegrini’s upset win over Katie Ledecky in the 200 free. Pellegrini unleashed a 28.82 final 50 split to chase down both Ledecky and Emma McKeon for gold and a time of 1:54.73. McKeon and Ledecky would conclude the race with matching 1:55.18s for the silver.

Chad le Clos dominated the men’s 200 fly, powering to the finish ahead of the crowd favorite: Laszlo Cseh.
