Team GB men strike Olympic gold in pool again with stunning relay win

  • Tom Dean and Duncan Scott add to Tuesday’s gold and silver
  • 4x200m gives GB a third swimming gold for first time since 1908

Team GB’s week in the swimming pool just keeps getting better. Their men’s 4x200m relay didn’t just win the event, they dominated it, and set a new European record. The quartet of Tom Dean, James Guy, Matthew Richards, and Duncan Scott won the gold in a time of 6min 58.8sec, which was just three-hundredths off the world record set by Michael Phelps’ USA team in 2009. It was Great Britain’s first gold medal in the event since 1908, and it also snapped one of the longer winning streaks in Olympic swimming – it was the first time since Sydney 2000 that anyone has beaten the USA in this event.
