Men&#8217;s 4&#215;200 Free Title With 1:43 Anchor By Duncan Scott<\/h4>\n<p>No four individuals had combined to win relay gold medals at two different Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The United States\u2019 men\u2019s 4&#215;200 free relay came close when three of the winning quartet at Athens 2004 returned four years later to take gold in Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>But that statistic has now been consigned to history after <strong>James Guy<\/strong>, <strong>Tom Dean<\/strong>, <strong>Matt Richards<\/strong> and <strong>Duncan Scott<\/strong> claimed 4x200m freestyle gold for Great Britain in Paris, three years after they triumphed in Tokyo to claim a third straight medal in the event, a run that started with silver at Rio 2016.<\/p>\n<p>In Japan, they went within 0.03 of the USA\u2019s 2009 WR in 6:58.58 for a European standard.<\/p>\n<p>Three years and two days later, the quartet came together once again to win in 6:59.43 ahead of the USA (7:00.78) and Australia (7:01.98).<\/p>\n<p>There was just 0.50secs to choose between Team GB and the USA at the final changeover but a huge 1:43.95 anchor leg by Scott propelled the quartet home for an historic victory.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>World Record:

would have placed fifth in the individual final.<\/p>\n<p>It was a PB for the 28-year-old as he cut 0.10secs from his previous best of 1:45.14 that secured the world title at <strong>Kazan 2015<\/strong> ahead of <strong>Sun Yang<\/strong> and <strong>Paul Biedermann.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He led off in the final in 1:45.09 with 400 free champion <strong>Lukas Martens<\/strong> second, 0.22 adrift, and 200 bronze medallist <strong>Luke Hobson<\/strong> a further 0.24 behind.<\/p>\n<p>Dean split 1:45.28 to <strong>Carson Foster&#8217;s<\/strong> 1:45.31 as GB reached halfway in 3:30.37 to the USA&#8217;s 3:30.86 with Australia third in 3:31.52.<\/p>\n<p>Richards was up against <strong>Drew Kibler<\/strong> with the Briton posting a split of 1:45.11 to the American&#8217;s 1:45.12 with the gap just 0.50secs while Australia were within 0.73 of the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Scott extended the lead over <strong>Kieran Smith<\/strong> by 0.35 at the 700m mark and eventually came home in 1:43.95 with a 1.35second winning margin over the USA who returned to the podium after finishing fourth in Tokyo while Australia replicated their third-place finish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>China<\/strong> were fourth in 7:04.37 followed by <strong>France<\/strong> (7:04.80), <strong>South Korea<\/strong> (7:07.26), <strong>Japan<\/strong> (7:07.48), <strong>Germany<\/strong> (7:09.56) and <strong>Israel<\/strong> (7:10.22).<\/p>\n<p>Scott and Guy have been on the British teams since Kazan 2015, where the former was replaced for the 4&#215;2 final by the latter after he claimed the individual title.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, they have been on three Olympic 4&#215;2 podiums together and Scott said: &#8220;There are so many great individual athletes in that team. When we come together, it\u2019s always really special.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Me and Jimmy were part of that team in 2016 (so) to get three Olympic medals in a row.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m just so proud of what they were able to do out there. It was so loud, the atmosphere was phenomenal, the French team were in there and any time they\u2019re in the pool, it\u2019s pretty electric.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were just so mature with how we swam our legs, from Jimmy \u2013 he did a lifetime best this morning and that was from 2015 which says it all. Jimmy and Matt swam really mature legs, they were able to come back really strong to give the next persona\u00a0 great opportunity.\u00a0So, I am buzzing with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_593250\" style=\"width: 331px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-593250\" data-attachment-id=\"593250\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/paris-olympics-day-4-finals-great-britain-retain-mens-4x200-free-title-with-143-anchor-by-duncan-scott\/paris-2024-olympic-games-168\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240728_Maso_MA71383.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Andrea Masini \\\/ Deepbluemedia \\\/ Insidefoto&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Duncan Scott of Great Britain competes in the swimming 200m Freestyle Men Heats during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at La Defense Arena in Paris (France), July 28, 2024.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1722157790&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Andrea Masini \\\/ Deepbluemedia \\\/ Insidefoto&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;390&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;2000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Paris 2024 Olympic Games&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Paris 2024 Olympic Games\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Duncan Scott of Great Britain competes in the swimming 200m Freestyle Men Heats during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at La Defense Arena in Paris (France), July 28, 2024.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240728_Maso_MA71383-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240728_Maso_MA71383-1024x683.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-593250\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240728_Maso_MA71383-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"321\" height=\"229\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-593250\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Duncan Scott: Photo courtesy: Deepbluemedia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Of whether it in any way poured some balm on his fourth-place finish in the individual, Scott added: &#8220;I&#8217;ve tried to kind of park what happened, that\u2019s just the nature of sport. I know what I signed up for and sometimes you\u2019re on the other side of it and yesterday I was and this time fortunate enough to have some pretty phenomenal teammates so I was able to be on the good time of it tonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of whether there was a contrast with the Tokyo victory, Dean said: &#8220;It feels different for so many reasons. It feels different because my family and friends were \u00a0there\u00a0 in the crowd and that was the most special thing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s all I\u2019ve been thinking about since we won it in Tokyo is wanting to do it again. It feels different because it\u2019s the same quartet to defend an Olympic title and I think that\u2019s the first time it\u2019s ever happened and it feels different because the last three years haven\u2019t been a straight line for anyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Me, Jimmy, Matt, Duncan \u2013 there have been a lot of changes but we stepped up again in Olympic year and that\u2019s what is really special.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guy paid tribute to his family and fiancee for their support and sacrifices, adding: &#8220;I think Tokyo is the number one because I was missing Olympic\u00a0 gold. This one\u2019s different because it was a PB time as well so they\u2019re probably pretty similar. It\u2019s like Caeleb Dressel. He was on the Rio 4&#215;1 team that won gold, obviously they\u2019ve won gold three times in a row now, but not quite there but to be crowned Olympic champions again with the same quartet is pretty special.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guy joked: &#8220;I\u2019ll have to do four more years and beat them on their home turf! That might be a little bit harder when I\u2019m 32.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think as a team we&#8217;re just good friends outside the pool. We&#8217;re all very different people. We&#8217;re all very close and we&#8217;ve had some some really special moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve been there for all of each other&#8217;s individual successes. We\u2019ve fought harder trials to beat each other and then come back together as teams every single time. We share a bond, the four of us, that we will have the rest of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"593249\"
