Singapore – The United States swim team delivered a record-shattering performance on Saturday at the World Swimming Championships in Singapore, establishing a new global benchmark in the mixed 4x100m freestyle relay. The electrifying swim not only secured gold but also marked a significant turning point for Team USA at the championships, which had seen some earlier challenges.

A Perfectly Executed Race

The American quartet, comprising Jack Alexy, Patrick Sammon, Kate Douglass, and Torri Huske, combined forces to clock an astonishing 3 minutes, 18.48 seconds. This dominant display shaved a significant 0.35 seconds off the previous world record of 3:18.83, which was held by Australia and set at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka.

From the starting gun, the US team seized control, transforming the race into a furious battle against the clock. Jack Alexy led off with a powerful split of 46.91 seconds, giving the Americans an immediate and strong advantage. This was Alexy’s third sub-47 second swim in the 100 freestyle at the meet, demonstrating his impressive consistency. Patrick Sammon, making his World Championship debut, extended the lead with a blistering second leg of 46.70 seconds, notably the fastest split of the entire field and placing just outside the all-time top 25 relay splits.

The momentum continued with the women, as Kate Douglass swam her leg in 52.43 seconds and Torri Huske anchored the team with a time of 52.44 seconds. Huske, despite battling illness throughout the meet, showed immense grit to bring home the gold and the world record. The “Neutral Athletes” team from Russia secured the silver medal in 3:19.68, setting a new European Record, while France claimed the bronze in 3:21.35.

Relieving the Relay Drought

This victory was particularly poignant for Team USA, as it marked their first relay gold of the current championships. Coming into Day 7, the American squads had secured silver in both the women’s 4x100m and 4x200m freestyle relays, and a bronze in the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay, missing the podium in the men’s 4x200m freestyle. The pressure was on to secure a relay triumph, and this mixed event delivered spectacularly.

“I think we all came out here tonight really wanting to get that first win for Team USA,” commented Kate Douglass after the race, highlighting the team’s collective desire to break their relay gold drought. The performance also adds to the United States’ strong showing in Singapore, which saw Katie Ledecky capture her record 23rd world title in the 800m freestyle earlier in the session, and Gretchen Walsh claim her second individual gold in the 50m butterfly.

The record-breaking swim not only consolidated the United States’ lead atop the overall medal table heading into the final day of the championships but also sent a clear message of their intent and depth on the global swimming stage.
