DOHA –\u00a0Russia started of the fourth finals session with a bang as it took down the world record in the men\u2019s 200 free relay at the FINA World Short Course Championships. Watch Race Video<\/a><\/p>\n

The foursome of Vlad Morozov (21.01), Evgeny Sedov (20.37), Oleg Tihkhobaev (20.59) and Sergey Fesikov (20.63) blasted the field with a time of 1:22.60.<\/p>\n

That performance downed the Russian world record of 1:23.36 from last year\u2019s European Championships in Herning.<\/p>\n

Although, the worlds best in the event goes to France with a 1:20.77 from 2009. FINA, however, did not recognize this record when it began doling out world records in this event last year.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s Russia\u2019s third men\u2019s relay gold medal in the history of the World Short Course Championships, as the squad also topped the 400 medley relay in 2008 and the 800 free relay in 2010.<\/p>\n

Team USA\u2019s Josh Schneider (21.05), Tom Shields (20.99), Jimmy Feigen (20.79) and Ryan Lochte (20.64) obliterated the American record in the event with a silver-winning 1:23.47.<\/p>\n

This morning, Schneider, Matt Grevers, Lochte and Darian Townsend posted the American record with a time of 1:25.55. \u00a0That mark was short-lived.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s Luca Dotto (21.45), Marco Orsi (20.43), Filippo Magnini (21.35) and Marco Belotti (21.33) finished third overall in 1:24.56.<\/p>\n

Belgium (1:24.72), China (1:27.70), Japan (1:28.45), Paraguay (1:30.54) and Philippines (1:33.12) placed fourth through eighth.<\/p>\n
