But Team USA did what was necessary in the prelims, as the foursome of <strong>Matt Grevers<\/strong> (52.89), <strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong> (59.75), <strong>Jack Conger<\/strong> (51.70) and <strong>Zach Apple<\/strong> (47.59) qualified second for the final in 3:31.93. Historically, the U.S. has won 13 of the 17 medley relays contested at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fina.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Worlds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been pretty good,&#8221; Apple said of his week, which included a gold in the 400 freestyle relay. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a few races that have been really exciting, and a few that I wish I would have been a little better on. But overall I think the week has gone really well and I&#8217;m excited to see the guys finish it out.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Russia claimed the top seed for the final as the unit of <strong>Kliment Kolesnikov<\/strong> (53.75), <strong>Anton Chupkov<\/strong> (58.90), <strong>Mikhail Vekovishchev<\/strong> (50.87) and <strong>Vladislav Grinev<\/strong> (47.20) combined for a mark of 3:030.72. Japan (3:32.34), Great Britain (3:32.35) and Australia (3:32.50) finished third through fifth, with Brazil going 3:32.58 for sixth.<\/p>\n<p>There will be plenty of lineup changes for the evening session, with the United States almost certainly going with a fresh squad of <strong>Ryan<\/strong> <strong>Murphy<\/strong>, <strong>Andrew Wilson<\/strong>, <strong>Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> and <strong>Blake Pieroni<\/strong>. The gap Dressel will provide on the fly leg should go a long way toward determining the United States\u2019 fate. Russia, too, has some firepower on the way, as <strong>Evgeny Rylov<\/strong> (backstroke) and <strong>Andrei<\/strong> <strong>Minakov<\/strong> (butterfly) will be added, with a decision looming between Chupkov or <strong>Kirill Prigoda<\/strong> handling breaststroke.<\/p>\n<p>Because it will add <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> to the breaststroke leg for the final, Great Britain cannot be overlooked. Like Dressel on the fly leg, Peaty has the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/adam-peaty-a-record-third-title-in-pantheon-and-james-wilby-punch-great-britain-1-2-at-world-championships-race-video\/\">provide a cushion<\/a> of nearly two seconds over the competition. Japan and Australia are more limited in their options for additional speed, although the Aussies will turn to <strong>Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> on the anchor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finalists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
