Women’s 4×200 free relay Final
- World Record: 7:32.85 – Netherlands – 3 DEC 2014
- Championship Record: 7:32.85 – Netherlands – 3 DEC 2014
Top 8 finishers:
- Canada: 7:32.96
- USA: 7:36.53
- China: 7:39.92
- Russia: 7:42.46
- Hungary: 7:47.04
- Germany: 7:47.13
- Brazil: 7:51.87
- Hong Kong: 8:03.67
The Canadian quarter of Summer McIntosh (1:54.30), Kayla Sanchez (1:52.97), Katherine Savard (1:54.01) and Rebecca Smith (1:51.68) nearly took down every record on the books to take the gold in 7:32.96. That swim comes just a tenth off of the World and Meet Record of 7:32.85 from the Netherlands in 2014.
The clear standout split on that relay is anchor Rebecca Smith coming home in 1:51.68, the fastest in the field by almost a full second. Smith was the silver medalist at these championships, going 1:52.24 to finish behind Hong Kong’s Siobhan Haughey.
