Medley Relay Heat Sheets
The US has fully swapped their lineup and enter as the top seed. After going with M-M-F-F this morning, they will now go with F-F-M-M with 100 backstroke World Record holder Regan Smith leading things off. Lilly King won silver in the women’s 100 breast this week and will swim the breaststroke leg before Dare Rose and Jack Alexy round out the relay.
#2 seeded Australia made no switches from their prelims lineup and finished only 0.01 behind the US this morning. The Netherlands also made no switches as the #3 seed.
Canada has made some switches. After going with Blake Tierney, Sophie Angus, Finlay Knox, Penny Oleksiak this morning, Knox will remain on the relay and swim breaststroke instead of fly as Ilya Kharun has come in for the fly leg. Mary-Sophie Harvey takes the free leg from Oleksiak while Wilm will lead off.

Idk man, this order just seems so off. I get having Regan on the back and Alexy on the free, but wouldn’t it make much more sense to switch out the men and women for breaststroke and butterfly? With the way Gretchen Walsh is swimming, she’s within 4 seconds of most male butterflyers in the field right now. That’s a significant advantage not to use in a mixed relay. And with breaststroke, I feel it would be better to have a male swimmer on that leg since it is technically the slowest. Less time lost on the breaststroke would mean more time to gain ground in the other legs.
Was kinda shocked at the order.
I figured they would do
Casas..49+
King..1.03..
Walsh..52.0
Alexy.44.5.
They couldn’t use a male breastroker.Andrew is in no shape to do a 100..
The US coach was wrong
Some people never learn, do they?
Where did they get the ‘neutral athletes’ anthem from?
I haven’t caught it line but they used Tchaikovsky’s first piano concerto at the Tokyo games so perhaps its that?
Tokyo was still ROC. They were allowed to wear flag colors but not their flag, and had a designated anthem they picked that wasn’t their national anthem. Under the “neutral athlete” protocol, athletes aren’t allowed to wear flag colors and the anthem is the IF anthem.
I think they said on the broadcast its the “world aquatics anthem”
Scary that Kate Douglass and Gretchen Walsh won’t make this relay. America should murder the women’s 4 medley relay
WTF McIntosh closed in 13.93. The fastest man closed in 13.16
Seems like a bad idea, but whatever
