It a gold medal with a world-record cherry on top.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy, Dressel, <strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong> and <strong>Zach Apple<\/strong> comprised the quartet that took down the world record and the field, fending off the charge by Great Britain to win gold in 3:26.78. The British earned silver, their third relay medal of these games after none in the previous 109 years, in 3:27.51 with Italy third.<\/p>\n<p>Finishing fifth, with <strong>Lydia Jacoby<\/strong> and <strong>Torri Huske,<\/strong> in t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-after-mixed-medley-fiasco-americans-need-relay-redemption-in-finale\/\">he first mixed medley relay in Olympic history<\/a>, far undercut the Americans\u2019 usual expectations for themselves. But the women\u2019s team won silver Sunday on the final day of the Tokyo Olympics, and the U.S. men\u2019s medley relay earned gold to banish any demons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think as athletes, we are always looking to the next thing,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cEven as we come into these mixed zones after a race, we\u2019re always looking at the next race. Yesterday, right after the mixed medley, it\u2019s like, \u2018OK, that is done and over with. We\u2019ve got a stacked men\u2019s medley coming up. We\u2019ve got to go, warm down, get ready for that.\u2019 And luckily we did that today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The win continues maybe the most impressive streak in international swimming: Save for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, which the United States boycotted, the U.S. men have won all 15 medley relays contested. Sunday\u2019s required some outside smoke after a lackluster prelims swim landed the U.S. men\u2019s medley relay in lane 1.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy went out first in 52.31, giving the U.S. men&#8217;s medley relay a needed cushion. They were third after the breaststroke leg thanks to <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> uncorking a ludicrous 56.53. But Andrew did his job in 58.49 to hand off to Dressel in third place.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew was coming off the 50 free in which he finished fourth, a quick turnaround that few people who are not Caeleb Dressel aren\u2019t used to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe train for it like anybody else, and I think it was an excellent warmup,\u201d Andrew said. \u201cWe had a lot of time between the 50 and the start of the relay at the end. My body felt primed, and to walk out on deck with three studs, it\u2019s an honor and we did what we have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murphy was hard on himself at the 2019 World Championships when he led off in 52.9 in a race the U.S. lost to the British. He admitted using that swim as motivation more than once in the two years since.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat race in 2019 is one I have watched a couple of times in days I was doing good or my body was breaking down or I didn\u2019t necessarily want to work hard,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cI\u2019ve watched that and gotten fired up, and it\u2019s definitely motivated me over the past two years to make sure that when we got to the end of this meet, 1) I\u2019m able to do a good 100 back, but I\u2019m also able to do a good 100 back at the end of this long meet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dressel did what Dressel does and summarily smacked the field. He was the fastest by more than a second on his leg in a silly 49.03. He handed off a sixth-tenths advantage to Apple, who didn\u2019t need it, outsplitting <strong>Duncan Scott<\/strong> on the way home to get the win.<\/p>\n<p>The Brits wrapped up a stellar meet with relay silver to go with 800 free and mixed medley relay gold. <strong>Alessandro Miressi<\/strong> of Italy had enough to hold off Russia for bronze. Australia was never higher than fifth and settled for that at 3:29.60.<\/p>\n<p><a
