An impressive anchor leg from Guy secured the win as he overtook\u00a0<strong>Michael Weiss<\/strong> of the USA to close the race.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does this mark the first time Great Britain has won the event at the World Championships but the group of four also set a new British record in the event replacing the 2009 record of 7:05.67. Renwick was also a member of the 2009 relay, leading off for\u00a0<strong>Robert Bale, David Carry<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Ross Davenport.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The USA relay team led for the first three legs of the race with\u00a0<strong>Ryan Lochte<\/strong> (1:45.71),\u00a0<strong>Conor Dwyer<\/strong> (1:45.33) and\u00a0<strong>Reed Malone<\/strong> (1:46.92) all turning in quick splits. Weiss&#8217; split of 1:46.79 was not a bad split, there was just no stopping Guy from getting to the wall. Combined the USA finished in 7:04.75 for the silver medal.<\/p>\n<p>Australia&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Cameron McEvoy\u00a0<\/strong>(1:46.46),\u00a0<strong>David McKeon<\/strong> (1:47.05),\u00a0<strong>Daniel Smith<\/strong> (1:46.38) and\u00a0<strong>Thomas Fraser-Holmes<\/strong> (1:45.45) turned in a time of 7:05.34 for the bronze medal. Although\u00a0<strong>Grant Hackett<\/strong> did not swim the relay in finals, because he was part of the relay in prelims he will still receive a medal for his swim earning him his fifth medal in the event (gold in 1998, 2001, &amp; 2003; bronze in 2005 &amp; 2015).<\/p>\n<p>Russia finished fourth overall with a 7:06.89, separating themselves from the pack with a 2.12 second difference between the final finishers.<\/p>\n<p>Germany claimed fifth with a time of 7:09.01, while Belgium earned themselves sixth overall with a 7:09.64 finish.<\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands (7:09.75) and Poland (7:10.34)
