BUDAPEST – The United States won gold in the mixed 400m medley relay Wednesday at the 17th FINA World Championships, the team of Matt Grevers, Lilly King, Caeleb Dressel and Simone Manuel setting a world record with a time of 3:38.56.
This year marks the second time this race has been swum at a World Championships. The first time around, in 2015, there was an air of novelty to the race. This year, however, it takes on new importance, as it has been added to the slate of Olympic events in Tokyo 2020.
