the are going to get a good start from
Kira tousant and Aro kaminga so again
nothing being held back these teams are
putting in almost their a teams they
want to make sure of their place in the
final oh great underwater the men on the
field of play are taking it out very
very quickly it looks across in Lane
number two or from Germany is the lead
swimmer at the moment he'll hand over to
a male breast stroker so they will be
fast in the first half and then we'll
see whether or not they get pegged back
in the second half of this 4X 100 mixed
medley
Reay Canada and Brazil Canada in six and
Brazil in seven are also going man man
woman woman so those two three nations
Germany Canada and Brazil will be some
way in front of the field at the
midpoint of this great battle between
the women in the backstroke leg as well
with Regan Smith just pushing ahead of
Kathleen Dawson that came out very fast
in the first 50 let's look at this time
for
Smith a good time for her
5764 Adam py on the charge then for
Great Britain the most dominant swimmer
in breast strog history he's going to
hand over to James guy himself one of
the best 100 fly swimmers in the world
at the moment so the engine room of
Great Britain expecting to bring them on
level terms or into the lead well Brazil
up there with Germany in the early
stages the first half of this 4X 100
medley relay mixed and Germany have
chosen to swim they're two male swimmers
in the first half of the
relay Lisa poppink is about to dive in
for Germany for the brro leg and how's
py doing fantastic well he's catching up
and they've already swam woman man for
Great Britain So Great Britain with a
male swimmer coming in for James guy but
Canada Brazil and Germany have all got
the women in position number
three James guy in the water for Britain
I expect to see a lead change here with
Great
Britain Tom shields in for the United
States so the Americans have done
exactly as Great Britain woman man man
and then woman so it should be Great
Britain United States in the lead Lisa
hopping will have a look on the wall she
breathes away from James G who's about
to take her over on the underwater still
under still under comes up just before
15 M great turn Tom Shields working his
way through as well for the USA now
watch Great Britain and the United
States pull away from the rest of the
field to hand over to the women and
they're all women across the field in
the anchor leg of all of these teams so
we're as you were we're on a straight
race now and Great Britain have a body
length lead in front of the United
States great change over time forer
Anderson in the water at20 you don't
have a lot of experience changing over
with men as as a female swimmer so
judging their touch on the wall Freya
did a great job Abby whitel in there for
the USA and she's sitting right on the
wash of Freya Anderson so it's like
she's swimming against the current right
now Anderson a good Rel swimmer for
Great Britain over the
years going to bring it home for Great
Britain she's a body length clear off
white so and the United States are not
going to catch frer Anderson Anderson
charging not giving anything away to
this certainly not easing up Great
Britain with a point to prove they want
to be in the middle of the pool and
records are there to be
broken frer Anderson then underneath the
flags a dominant win then for Great
Britain Anderson brings them home on a
33875 United States in for second vital
delivering second place as the
Netherlands are the best of the rest of
the field behind the top two just missed
the world record by 3400s of a second
it's a good team the fastest of these
two Heats will establish a new olympic
record it was all the action in the
sener of Po as we saw Adam py the
Olympic
champion in the breastroke for Great
Britain and then handing over to James
guy freyer
Anderson dashed out in a 25-0 for the
first 50 m long
stroking
increased the lead over the
USA just missing the world
[Music]
record we need a big leg from dorson
here take your
mark so two men two women they can swim
them in any order they like and I hope
that's not Kathleen is it yeah she
slipped on the w i think Catherine
Dawson in the Red Cap not a great start
I think she slipped on the wall which is
not good look at that now four or five
met down that's not going to help well
she's uh she's against the women so it's
the three uh the four men at the top
there and then the four women and well
she's recovered well and the yellow hat
is the Australian Olympic champion on
the 100 met backstroke she's she's not
lying badly at all USA over first and
the American well it is the world record
holder on the 100 met backstroke Ryan
Murphy so we expect him to go quick
tough Lane assignment for uh for the
British Kathleen Dawson right between
those two men getting a little bit of WS
but she's doing well she's doing well
she came back really well but the waves
are going to be so intense right now
Ryan Murphy possibly as I expected the
bronze under backstroker check on the
fourth place under back from Italy Italy
in first wow just must have got the end
of there Dawson coming in now so py has
a job to do that was a quick take over
from Adam he was ready step forward now
he's got to eat this up now he's got a
couple of breast Strokers ahead of him
on the the right hand side top of the
pool there all three Pagoda martini and
Yan all three finalists tooda no 11th
but Martin n the Italian was the Bronze
medalist of pety pety now with the Red
Cap got to do this going to get back
into well fourth place maybe for James
guy an interesting measure will be the
Americans and the Brits So Great Britain
the red hat in the center and P is
catching up the Americans in that black
hat because then we will both have gone
male and female on the on the first two
legs not necessarily in the same order
the top three as expected two men first
so they should be Miles Ahead P's caught
up the mer this is good this is very
good but we need a lead we certainly do
need a lead from those Americans the
halfway mark it's going to be so tight
down this second half Italy lead China
second Russia third great leg there from
Adam py James Gan now a tight take over
but I think it was good they're
absolutely brilliant so they the medals
might not go to the three that are in
the lead at the moment just to be clear
on this halfway so the medals could not
might go in the middle so what we've got
here is James guy going in against
against Tory husk the American lady and
James guy needs I think about 6 seconds
on Jacob dressle sorry and Hopkins is
about 6 seconds so James guy now has to
try and catch up the rest of the field
and get a big lead from the Americans
the Australians we're going to have Anna
Hopkin against Emma McKeon so two women
on the back end well this is really
interesting we need a lead here I think
it'll be very good if we can we need
certainly about a second lead over the
Australians in the yellow hats and a
Hopkin what a great opportunity here for
Great Britain Great Britain lead with
100 m to go China second Italy third and
now the charge is going to come the
Australians are going to come charging
the Yellow Hat of the Olympic champion
there and Caleb dressle not even in the
pitcher yet but he's going to be
absolutely touching look how far behind
is surely even Caleb dressle can't catch
that up keep an eye on the Chinese
though Yang jyy pulled out to the 100
individual she did the same thing for
the 4x200 relay to get the gold in that
now Anna Hopkins brilliant turn she's
still in the lead I think she's got the
Chinese the question is can dressle get
it I think it's too much well dressel's
got an awful long way to go but he is
charging but surely she can hold on and
Anna Hopkin is going to bring Great
Britain home to Gold I think she's got
about 10 m to go and Great Britain are
going to win their fourth gold in the
swimming pool it's the mixed medley
relay great Brit win goal by Miles the
silver to the Chinese the bronze to
Australia and I think it's a new world
record it is a new world record for
Great Britain oh what a wonderful team
Kathleen Dawson had such a hard job to
lead them off stuck between the guys was
getting waves all over the place and
still swam a 58 a great swim from her PT
went 567 there he is on the right James
guy his second gold it's py second gold
as well and Anna Hopkin is Olympic
champion oh no she's got a gold medal 52
flat on the final leg well that that was
that was was precious foring from Anna
Hopkin and they all delivered every
single one of them delivered there Anna
Hopkins take over one of those wonderful
step back and then launch herself at the
time that James guy did 50 flat that's
an outstanding fly split and then
Hopkins split 52 Z well you a world
record team that that they they all
nailed it every single swimmer there
delivered one of the best splits
fantastic I it's a new event a world
record expected to go and the emotion
the raw emotion Adam Peach and James guy
they knew they were capable of doing
this but so many unknowns with the waves
and well cayb dressle must have been
tired out his third race and James K py
well Pet's third Olympic gold medal
second of this meet Anna Hopkin Olympic
gold medalist anchored the mixed medal
relay the first time it's ever been held
at the Olympic Games and team Great
Britain are the new world record holders
and they are the Olympic
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Champions a massive congratulations gold
medal world record what does this mean
to you oh just yeah very s we knew that
race was going to be hard we put down
some good times yesterday I knew I was
on form for the Relay but really it was
just going down there executing the
perfect process not getting carried away
I knew to be fair I didn't know Chan
were going to put in a male back Sher so
I was going through very very dirty
water but as I you know I trained in
Derby for the my whole life pretty much
and I I was used to that so it's just
amazing to be S part of such an amazing
team I know obviously these women here
so strong and Jimmy I've been racing
with Jimmy now for 10 years no other
team's got that Heritage and uh
hopefully tomorrow we're going to see
what we got see what we got first mixed
Reay as well what was your strategy
going into the race you know I think
before we came in we were like you know
what you can't control anyone else is
doing focus on your own process your own
race don't worry about anybody else um
we knew we could come in and do
something pretty cool and special uh at
the back of our mind but you know it's
about coming in doing your own thing and
you know just focus on on yourself and
clearly that's what we did today and it
works and you know we won and got the
record so it's quite cool
congratulations thank Youk very much
