The United States' mixed 4x100 medley relay team captured the gold medal on Saturday, and did it by setting a new world record in the event.
Gold medals have been hard to come by in the pool for the Americans, but their most recent one came in grand style. The mixed 4x100 medley relay team won the gold medal on Saturday by setting a world record. Ryan Murphy, Gretchen Walsh, Nic Fink, and Torri Huske swam the race in 3:37.43, beating the world record by 15-hundredths of a second .
It was the sixth gold for the Americans in the swimming pool - they now trail Australia by one. It's Huske's second gold of the Games - she also took home the women's 100m butterfly . It comes a day after the mixed 4x400 relay track team set a world record in that event - but they had to settle for the silver medal in Saturday's final. This is a breaking news story.
