The Aussies put together a world-record performance and easily dispatched the competition. In the final of the 800 freestyle relay, which will unfold on Thursday morning, the Dolphins will be even bigger favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Fueled by the squad of <strong>Mollie O&#8217;Callaghan<\/strong>, <strong>Meg Harris<\/strong>, <strong>Brianna Throssell<\/strong> and <strong>Tamsin Cook<\/strong>, Australia earned the top seed with a time of 7:44.61. That effort was nearly three seconds quicker than the effort produced by the United States, which touched in 7:47.57, and Australia has its big guns to come. In the final, <strong>Ariarne Titmus<\/strong>, <strong>Emma McKeon<\/strong> and <strong>Madison Wilson<\/strong> are expected to be added to the lineup, meaning the world record of 7:41.50 is in its final hours.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Callaghan was splendid in the prelims, clocking a leadoff leg of 1:55.11 (which would have placed fifth in the individual 200 free final), but she still may not get the chance to swim in the final because the Aussies must also use <strong>Leah Neale<\/strong>, on the Olympic team as a relay-only swimmer, meaning she must compete in something. Meanwhile, Titmus has already collected Olympic gold in the 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-emma-mckeon-pops-olympic-record-in-prelims-of-100-freestyle-as-aussie-assault-continues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McKeon the favorite for gold in the 100 freestyle<\/a> and Wilson looking strong. A sub-7:40 performance seems to be a formality.<\/p>\n<p>The United States advanced as the second seed behind the team of <strong>Bella Sims<\/strong>, <strong>Paige Madden<\/strong>, <strong>Katie McLaughlin<\/strong> and <strong>Brooke<\/strong> <strong>Forde<\/strong>. Madden had the best split, going 1:55.96, slightly quicker than the 1:56.02 of McLaughlin. <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong> and <strong>Allison Schmitt<\/strong> will join the Team USA lineup for the final.<\/p>\n<p>China (7:48.98) qualified third and Canada (7:51.52) was fourth. The Canadians figure to be much faster in the final when <strong>Penny<\/strong> <strong>Oleksiak<\/strong> and <strong>Summer McIntosh<\/strong> see action.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women&#8217;s 800 Freestyle Relay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>World Record:<\/strong> Australia (Titmus, Wilson, Throssel, McKeon) 7:41.50 (2019)<br \/>\n<strong>Olympic Record:<\/strong> United States (Franklin, Vollmer, Vreeland, Schmitt) 7:42.92 (2012)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finalists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
