With a lineup featuring medalists in each of their respective 100's this week, the United States was in a strong position to give this world record a go. Thanks to splits from Kathleen Baker (58.54), Lilly King (1:04.48), Kelsi Worrell (56.30), and Simone Manuel (52.23) Team USA closed out the meet with gold in a world record-setting time of 3:51.55. Going into the freestyle leg they were actually about a half of a second off pace, but Manuel isn't the Olympic champion, World champion, and American record holder in the 100m freestyle for nothing. Behind a blazing 1:04.03 breaststroke leg from Yulia Efimova -- the fastest in the field -- Russia got in for the silver medal in a time of 3:53.38. Australia rounded out the podium for bronze in 3:54.29.
