A British team spearheaded by Tom Dean and Duncan Scott stormed to victory in the men's Olympic 4x200m relay on Wednesday, narrowly missing the world record.
Gold medallists Britain’s Duncan Scott, Britain’s Matthew Richards, Britain’s James Guy and Britain’s Tom Dean pose after the final of the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay swimming event during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre in Tokyo on July 28, 2021.
“I think this is really special, with those boys,” Scott said. “We were so close to the world record in the end, if anything I’m a bit gutted.” “As a kid an Olympic gold medal was my absolute dream,” said Guy. “To do it finally at 25 years old is pretty emotional. These four lads are the best freestylers in the world.“Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Conor Dwyer did it in Rio and now we’re the Olympic champions. That’s just a dream come true.”
The United States missed out on a medal in the men’s relay for the first time in Olympics history, on the back of claiming four golds in a row in the 200m.
