She GB Being hit Gold Appeared in the pool again as Catherine Dawson, Adam Petty, James Gay On Saturday morning, Anna Hopkin won the exciting 4x100m medley relay.
In the first mixed relay, the British team tied their greatest Olympic performance ever in the swimming pool.
The foursome of Dawson, Petty, Guy and Hopkin won Britain’s fourth gold medal in this meeting, as well as two silver and one bronze medals, the same as their results at the 1908 London Olympics.
The charm of this event is that the team can choose which leg the male and female athletes swim and stagger the field until the last stop.
Dawson slid into the pool at the beginning of the backstroke, but it didn’t matter, because Pitty in the breaststroke and Guy in the butterfly were involved in the leader and Hopkin, replacing Freya Anderson, who was swimming in the heat. The new world record time brings the British home ahead of China and Australia.
For Guy and Petty, this is the second Olympic gold medal after the men’s 4x200m relay and 100m breaststroke. Petty became the second British swimmer to win three Olympic gold medals after his personal victory in Rio. .
When they win the gold medal in the men’s 4x100m medley relay tomorrow, the GB team may still surpass their 1908 record, and they are defending the world champion after defeating the United States in 2019.
If they are to do so, they will have to repeat this success, they will have to beat the United States again, and the mighty Caleb Drexel, who broke his own world record on Saturday and won the men’s game. Three gold medals. In the 100m butterfly final, 200m champion Kristof Milak won the silver medal.
On a busy morning, Drexel participated in three games and also qualified for the men’s 50m freestyle final as quickly as possible to maintain his hope of leaving Tokyo with five gold medals.
Drexel was not the only victory for the United States, as Katie Ledki won the women’s 800m freestyle victory 2-2 in a personal duel with Australian Arian Tittmos.
This is Ledky’s seventh Olympic gold medal and completed a hat-trick after her victories at the Rio Olympics and the 15-year-old London Olympics in 2012.
By that time, Australia had been hit again in the fight against the United States for the top spot in the swimming medal list, because Kaylee McKeown had succeeded in the 200-meter backstroke and the 100-meter backstroke, winning her first place. Two gold medals.
