Olympic Swimming 2016: Men's 4x200M Freestyle Relay Medal Winners and Times

The United States men added to their tremendous track record in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay at the 2016 Summer Olympics with a gold-medal finish thanks to the combined efforts of Conor Dwyer, Townley Haas, Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps. 

The Red, White and Blue have now captured four straight gold medals in the 4x200-meter relay dating back to the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

Great Britain finished with the silver medal, while Japan notched a third-place finish to take home bronze.  

Here's a look at the final times and finishes from each team that competed in the relay: 

Place	Team	Time
1	United States	7:00.66
2	Great Britain	7:03.13
3	Japan	7:03.50
4	Australia	7:04.18
5	Russia	7:05.70
6	Germany	7:07.28
7	Netherlands	7:09.10
8	Belgium	7:11.64

And here's a look at the updated medal count following the conclusion of Tuesday's swimming action: 

Great Britain posted the top time in the morning session with a mark of 7:06.31, per SwimSwam.com's Mitch Bowmile, and it figured to be a major threat to the Americans after finishing first in the 4x200-meter relay final at the 2015 World Championships. 

However, Phelps and Co. proved to be too much, as the most decorated Olympian in history added to his unparalleled medal count with a 21st gold just an hour after emerging victorious in the 200-meter butterfly. 

NBC Olympics on Twitter posted video of Phelps capping things off in style following stellar splits by Haas, Dwyer and Lochte: 

In addition to owning 21 golds, Phelps also now boasts 25 medals total after bringing the U.S. home as the anchor.

Yahoo Sports' Pat Forde reflected on Phelps' monster evening: 

As for Great Britain, heralded swimmer James Guy anchored in 1:44.85 to allow his side to make a late push into second place, per SwimSwam on Twitter.  

All things considered, the win capped off a tremendous evening for United States swimming that included a pair of golds for Phelps and another gold for wunderkind Katie Ledecky. 

Now all eyes will be on Phelps as he gets ready to compete in the 200-meter men's individual medley and the 100-meter butterfly.

And if Tuesday was any indication, Phelps should be favored to take home gold and add to his enormous legacy as his time in Rio draws to a close.
