Paris Olympics: Matt Richards, Kai Taylor, Summer McIntosh on Relays (Relay Names)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great Britain subbed in Matt Richards<\/strong> to the 400 freestyle relay, while the U.S. adds its two top sprinters to Saturday\u2019s Olympic final.<\/p>\n

The U.S. will add Jack Alexy<\/strong> and Chris Guiliano,<\/strong> swimming first and second respectively, to the final of the 400 free relay at the Paris La Defense Arena. Hunter Armstrong<\/strong>, who delivered the fastest leg of the morning at 47.50, is swimming third again at night, with Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> anchoring. Dressel went 48.19 in the morning.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be a fast start, with most teams opting to put their strongest guy out first. Canada, fifth in the morning, moved Josh Liendo<\/strong> to the front of an unchanged squad. Richards comes in for Alexander Cohoon,<\/strong> who split a more than respectable 47.91 in the morning, to join Jacob Whittle<\/strong> and Tom Dean<\/strong> for Great Britain.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s two additions, Alessandro Miressi<\/strong> and Thomas Ceccon,<\/strong> will swim 1-2. Paolo Conte Bonin<\/strong> and Manuel Frigo<\/strong> round out Italy\u2019s quartet.<\/p>\n

Pan Zhanle,<\/strong> who anchored in the morning for China, will lead off after a 46.98 split in the morning.<\/p>\n
