DREAM TEAM: American swimmers took home their sixth gold medal of the 2024 Olympics in the mixed 4x100M medley relay. More on how the champs set a world record

Gold medals have been hard to come by in the pool for the Americans, but their most recent one came in grand style.

The mixed 4×100 medley relay team won the gold medal on Saturday by setting a world record.

Ryan Murphy, Gretchen Walsh, Nic Fink, and Torri Huske swam the race in 3:37.43, beating the world record by 15-hundredths of a second (China, at 3:37.55, also beat the previous world record, but came in second).

It was the sixth gold for the Americans in the swimming pool. They now trail Australia by one.

It’s Huske’s second gold of the Games. She also took home the women’s 100m butterfly (Walsh won silver). Huske earned silver in the women’s 100m free and in the 4×100 free relay, alongside Walsh.

It comes a day after the mixed 4×400 relay track team set a world record in that event, but they had to settle for the silver medal in Saturday’s final.

The event made its debut in Tokyo, with Great Britain, China, and Australia earning the top three spots, respectively. The United States finished in fifth with Murphy, Lydia Jacoby, Huske and eight-time gold medalist Caeleb Dressel.

The world record was the Americans’ second gold of the day in the pool, as Katie Ledecky won her record-breaking ninth just several minutes earlier in the 800m freestyle.
