Joe TanseyAug 4, 2024

The United States won the gold-medal battle in the pool with Australia in emphatic fashion with a world record in the women's 4x100 mixed medley relay.

The quartet of Regan Smith, Lilly King, Gretchen Walsh and Torri Huske controlled the race from start to finish to give Team USA eight gold medals in swimming, one more than Australia.

Huske, who has been one of the stars of Team USA in Paris, capped the world-record swim in the freestyle with a 52.42-second split. That came just after Walsh swam the fastest butterfly split in history of 55.03 seconds.

The win capped a tremendous final night for Team USA in the pool. Bobby Finke won gold in the men's 1,500-meter freestyle and the men's mixed medley relay team took silver.

The women's mixed medley relay win put the Americans up to eight gold medals in swimming, one more than Australia.

Australia held the gold-medal advantage for most of the week, but Team USA surged back in the final two days to earn that crown.

Team USA also won the most overall swimming medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The United States had 28 overall medals. Eight of them were gold, 13 were silver and seven were bronze.

All of the swimming medals helped Team USA pull away in the overall medal table in which it currently has 69 total medals.
