Regan Smith, Lilly King, Gretchen Walsh, and Torri Huske took home the final Olympic swimming event on Sunday in the women’s 4×100 medley, and also set the world record in the event.
It was Huske’s third Olympic gold of the Games, having also won the women’s 100m butterfly (Waslsh got silver), while she and Walsh were part of the world-record mixed 4×100 medley team on Saturday.Â
