The man he shared it with, <strong>Kieran Smith,<\/strong> brought it home in 1:40.49. In between was a 1:40.34 split from 200 individual medley gold medalist <strong>Shaine Casas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Americans\u2019 time of 6:40.51 undercuts the nation\u2019s winning time from Melbourne in 2022 of 6:44.12 as the meet and world record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trenton Julian<\/strong> and <strong>Daniel Matheson<\/strong> also get medals from prelims.<\/p>\n<p>The only swimmer with a time comparable to the Americans was Australian lead-off Max Giuliani, who went 1:40.73 off the front. That, though, only put the Aussies second and nearly two seconds back of Hobson. The Aussies were second at every handoff and broke the Oceania record in 6:45.54. <strong>Ed Sommerville, Harrison Turner<\/strong> and 400 free champ <strong>Elijah Winnington<\/strong> comprised that quartet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a young squad to break the Oceania record, really good,&#8221; Winnington said. &#8220;We nearly averaged what the individual Aussie record was. So we&#8217;ve got a really good team, but it&#8217;s something to build upon. The U.S. are really strong. We can&#8217;t get complacent with that. So it&#8217;s just looking positive and we&#8217;re just trying to develop the young guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Italy ran fourth at every handoff until <strong>Alberto Razzetti<\/strong> split 1:41.62 off the end. That and <strong>Carlos D\u2019Ambrosio\u2019s<\/strong> 1:41.48 helped them rally past Germany for bronze when <strong>Florian Wellbrock<\/strong> split 1:44.99. <strong>Filippo Meglio<\/strong> and <strong>Manuel Frigo<\/strong> were the front half for Italy, which won silver in the men\u2019s 400 free relay and gold in the mixed 200 medley relay to start the session Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSwimming alone and fighting for the podium is always nice \u2013 but with your friends in a relay is a lot better,&#8221; Razzetti said. &#8220;We are very happy, we knew we were going to fight for the medals. For sure, we knew that the USA and Australia would be fast. We were still close so we did a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Behind Germany was Spain and the Neutral Athletes of Russia.<\/p>\n<p>With Hobson\u2019s swim, the lone surviving SCM record from the super-suited era on the men\u2019s side is the world\u2019s best time set by the French 200 free relay at the 2008 European Championships. The oldest individual record belongs to <strong>Yannick Angel<\/strong> in the 400 free from 2014. Biedermann\u2019s long-course records in the 200 free and 400 free, both of which date to the 2009 World Championships, remain stubbornly resilient.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"601812\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/budapest-2024-day-4-luke-hobson-downs-paul-biedermann-200-free-wr-u-s-wins-800-fr\/m800fr-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"913,875\" 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=\"M800FR\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-601812\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR.jpg 913w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR-209x200.jpg 209w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR-300x288.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR-450x431.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/M800FR-533x511.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Budapest 2024, Day 4 Finals: Luke Hobson Downs Paul Biedermann 200 Free WR;
