In a sensational conclusion to the world swim championships, the United States women's team shattered records with their 4x100 medley finish, clocking in at 3:49.34. The thrilling conclusion marked the final event of the eight-day series in Singapore, providing a silver lining to what was otherwise a challenging championship for the Americans.

Despite finishing with nine gold medals, one more than their closest rivals Australia, the U.S. team was beleaguered by cases of acute gastroenteritis contracted during pre-competition training in Thailand. This ailment impacted the team's overall performance throughout the championships.

Gretchen Walsh, part of the relay team, emphasized the significance of ending the meet on this positive note. Together with teammates Regan Smith, Kate Douglas, and anchor Torri Huske, Walsh delivered a spirited performance, pledging to leave Singapore with satisfaction and pride.
