Australia, China and the United States have traded top honors in the women’s medley relay over the past decade and a half, but the men’s relay has remained firmly in American hands. Since the relay made its Olympic debut in 1960, the Americans have won gold in 13 of 14 Olympics—the only exception being the boycotted 1980 Games in Moscow.
