Four days after the U.S. and Canadian women tied for gold in the 400 freestyle relay, the Russian Swimming Federation and the United States finished in equal marks of 1:30.51 in the men&#8217;s 200 medley relay.<\/p>\n<p>Russia, with a group of <strong>Kliment Kolesnikov<\/strong> (22.76),\u00a0<strong>Kirill Strelnikov<\/strong> (25.62),\u00a0<strong>Andrei Minakov<\/strong> (21.76) and <strong>Vladimir Morozov<\/strong> (20.37), won gold, and so did the American foursome of <strong>Shaine Casas\u00a0<\/strong>(23.11),\u00a0<strong>Nic Fink <\/strong>(25.13),\u00a0<strong>Tom Shields\u00a0<\/strong>(21.75) and\u00a0<strong>Ryan Held\u00a0<\/strong>(20.52).

The top three teams were more than a second clear of the rest of the field.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. team took down the American record, finishing four tenths faster than the team of\u00a0<strong>Ryan Murphy<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Caeleb Dressel\u00a0<\/strong>and Held swam at the 2018 World Championships.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"494057\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/u-s-men-lower-american-record-in-200-medley-relay-gold-medal-tie-nic-fink-also-lowers-50-breast-ar\/m200medley-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"839,803\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"m200medley\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;m200medley&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-494057\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1.jpg\" alt=\"m200medley\" width=\"701\" height=\"671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1.jpg 839w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1-209x200.jpg 209w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1-300x287.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1-450x431.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/m200medley-1-533x510.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Men&#8217;s 100 Freestyle Semifinals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Italy&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Alessandro Miressi<\/strong> put on a show in the men&#8217;s 100 free semifinals.
