TOKYO (Reuters) - The U.S. men's swimming team produced a thrilling display to win the 4x100m freestyle relay at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday to underline their dominance in the event.
Caeleb Dressel, Blake Pieroni, Bowen Becker and Zach Apple came in with a time of 3:08.97 to finish 1.14 seconds ahead of second placed Italy. Australia's hopes of challenging for the top prize never really materialised as they trailed in 1.25 seconds adrift of the champions to claim bronze. Russia faded away early to finish seventh.
