The Americans tried a different strategy than everyone else, going with Dressel on the freestyle while the other seven teams all closed with a woman. When 18-year-old Torri Huske passed off to Dressel after the butterfly leg, the Americans were  <a href=https://www.stanleycups.pl>stanley kubek</a> more than 7 seconds behind the leaders in last place. Tokyo 2020 Live Updates Day 8 That was too daunting even for the world s greatest male swimmer. Dressel turned in the fastest time, of course, but it wasn t nearly enough to chase down all the teams ahead of him. Britain claimed the gold with a world record of 3 minutes, 37.58 seconds. The silver went to China in 3:38.86, while Australia took the bronze in 3:38.95.

As ever, when it came to a last-lap showdown, nobody could live with his speed and he surged clear of Kenyan-born American Paul Chelimo and Ethiopian Hagos Gebrhiwet. Things were never going to be easy for Farah as Ethiopian trio Dejen Gebremeskel, Muktar Edris and Gebrhiwe <a href=https://www.stanley-cup.cz>stanley cup</a> t all passed up the 10,000m to concentrate on the shorter distance, and all three boasted faster personal bests than Farah.
