Team USA’s Courtney Bartholomew, Katie Meili, Kelsi Worrell and Simone Manuel set the world record in the women’s 400-meter medley relay at the 2015 Duel in the Pool.

In a dogfight against the European All Stars, Team USA put up a 3:45.20 to win the event and clip the world record of 3:45.56 set by the U.S. back in 2011.

The European All Stars of Katinka Hosszu, Yuliya Efimova, Jeanette Ottesen and Ranomi Kromowidjojo took second in 3:45.46.

Hosszu broke the U.S. Open record in the 100 back with a 55.71 leadoff. That’s lower than the 55.97 set by Natalie Coughlin to leadoff the former world record.

Gee, what a scintillating insight, Mr Keeran !! I’d hope those sights are sufficiently focused enough to also locate SWE & CHN as AUS was only 3rd in the W4XMED in Kazan !!
