Australia win women’s 4x100m freestyle relay gold

Australia swam the second fastest time in history Saturday to clinch the women’s 4x100m freestyle gold medal ahead of the United States at the Olympics.

Their team of Mollie O’Callaghan, Shayna Jack, Emma McKeon and Meg Harris proved too hot to handle, touching in 3min 28.92sec ahead of the Americans (3:30.20) and China (3:30.30).

Harris brought them home with a sizzling 51.94 after O’Callaghan led off to give them an immediate advantage.

It was the fourth successive Olympic gold Australia have won in the event, with the time second only to their own world record of 3:27.96 set last year.

They have held the world record since 2014, lowering it four times since then.
