The Russian team opened the fifth night of finals with a win in the 4×50 medley relay, just missing the championship record by .03 and touching exactly one tenth of a second off the world record. The team of\u00a0Kliment Kolesnikov<\/strong> (22.87),\u00a0Oleg Kostin\u00a0<\/strong>(25.36),\u00a0Mikhail Vekovishchev<\/strong> (22.09), and\u00a0Evgeny Rylov\u00a0<\/strong>(20.22) posted a time of 1:30.54 to grab the win.<\/p>\n
That just beat out the American team of\u00a0Ryan Murphy\u00a0<\/strong>(22.73),\u00a0Michael Andrew\u00a0<\/strong>(26.16),\u00a0Caeleb Dressel\u00a0<\/strong>(21.70), and\u00a0Ryan Held\u00a0<\/strong>(20.31). Murphy had the Americans in first after the backstroke, but the U.S. team fell back to fourth after Andrew’s breaststroke leg and couldn’t recover their lead over the final 100. Their time does establish a new American record in the event. In third was Brazil in 1:31.49.<\/p>\n
Notably, last night’s 50 free World Champion\u00a0Vlad Morozov\u00a0<\/strong>was absent from the relay. With a 20.33 flat start 50 last night, his anchor leg could have potentially pushed the Russian team past the world record.<\/p>\n
