PARIS (Reuters) - Australia's ambitions of dethroning the United States as the greatest swimming team were quashed on the final day of the Paris Olympic meet on Sunday, but their top women swimmers celebrated anyway by leaping into the pool in their tracksuits.
Gold medals and world records by Bobby Finke and the U.S. women's medley relay team on the final day condemned Australia to finishing second on the medal table again behind the Americans, who continued their streak of finishing on top at every Games since 1992 in Barcelona.
