2020 TOKYO SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES

Day 4 Finals Recap

Fall asleep too early to watch day four finals of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics? Don’t stress, all the race videos from both NBC and Eurosport are all in this post for you to catch up on.

The semifinals of the men’s 100 free kicked off the night, where ROC’s Kliment Kolesnikov and USA’s Caeleb Dressel landed the top seeds. Into the first two finals of the evening, world record-holder Kristof Milak of Hungary finally became an Olympic champion in the 200 fly and Aussie Ariarne Titmus earned a second Olympic title with her 200 free win as Siobhan Haughey earned Hong Kong its first pool swimming medal with silver.

Later, Chinese Zhang Yufei swam the top women’s 200 fly semifinals time while Aussie Zac Stubblety-Cook will headline the competitive men’s 200 breast final. In the women’s 200 IM final, Japan’s Yui Ohashi earned her second Olympic title while American teammates Alex Walsh and Kate Douglass earned silver and bronze.

In the first-ever women’s 1500 free final, the Katie Ledecky was crowned the first-ever Olympic champion in the event with American teammate Erica Sullivan picking up silver for a 1-2 USA finish.

More history was made in the men’s 800 free relay final, where Team Great Britain (Tom Dean, James Guy, Matthew Richards, Duncan Scott) swam a sub-7:00 effort of 6:58.58, exactly 0.02s off the Olympic record and 0.03s off the World record. The standard did set a new European record and the nation’s first gold medal in the event.
