Dressel and Held had to fight back for the U.S. over the final two legs, with Dressel digging the United States out from fourth place to the top of the podium with the fastest butterfly split in the field. Their time also established a new American record in the event.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dressel\u00a0(on winning gold in the 400 after taking silver in the 200): <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a good night. It\u2019s always nice to come out on top. More importantly in the relay, staying on top. We weren\u2019t happy with the outcome in the 200 [medley] \u2026 We did what we could tonight with a tired backstroker and we did very well as a collective group.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Murphy(on his double tonight): <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u201cIt\u2019s easy to get up and race for Team USA.

We\u2019re all very patriotic and love our countries and want to try to help them win gold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In second was the team from Russia in 3:20.61, followed by the team from Japan in third with a 3:21.07.
