Tokyo: 1 August 2021 (TDI)
At the Tokyo Aquatics Centre, the Team USA turned out victorious, by setting a new world record. The Team USA set a record of 3:26.78 in the men’s 4x100m medley relay.
The team included Ryan Murphy, Michael Andrew, Caeleb Dressel, and Zach Apple.
Zach Apple expressed, “It’s hard to mess that up when you have two world-record holders (Dressel and Murphy) and the fastest American breaststroker ever in front of you. I had an easy job there!” He further added, “It’s such an honor to represent the USA especially in relays, and to come home with gold and a world record is the icing on top.”
Other team members were also very happy and excited about their victory.
