The final of the women’s 800 freestyle relay was highlighted by dynamic racing as the relay teams of China, Australia, and the USA exchanged the lead throughout the race.
Allison Schmitt of the USA got the Americans off to an early lead with a 1:56.21 lead split, but the Australian combination of Emma McKeon (1:54.64) and Bronte Barratt (1:55.81) pulled the Australians ahead with just one leg left in the race.
Tamsin Cook of Australia dove in knowing that she would have to hold lead that Barratt had built for her if she was going to fend off the likes of the USA’s Katie Ledecky but Ledecky dove in with a purpose, splitting a final 1:53.74 to win the gold for Team USA. Ledecky’s split makes her the second woman to post a sub 1:54 relay split, with the other swimmer being Italy’s Federica Pellegrini during the tech-suit era.
