Women's 4x100m Freestyle Relay

From the China team, I saw a familiar face! Tang Yi, the wonder child from 2010 YOG, who swept away 5 gold medals! She kicked start team China, finishing second. But afterwards her teammates failed to keep up with her efforts, that or the other teams placed their weakest member in the first, I don't know, but in the end China finished fourth. Not bad, it'll be better in 2016. :)

Australia and Usa led the whole way but Netherlands dashed to finish second in the end. It was said that Usa used their B-team for the heats, reserving the A-team for the finals. The results:

1. Australia Olympics Record
(Alicia Coutts, Cate Campbell, Brittany Elmslie, Melanie Schlanger)
2. Netherlands (Inge Dekker, Marleen Veldhuis, Femke Heemskerk, Ranomi Kromowidjojo)
3. Usa (Missy Franklin, Jessica Hardy, Lia Neal, Allison Schmitt)
4. China (Tang Yi, Qiu Yuhan, Wang Haibing, Pang Jiaying)
5. Great Britain (Amy Smith, Francesca Halsall, Jess Lloyd, Caitlin McClatchey)
6. Denmark (Pernille Blume, Mie Nielsen, Lotte Friis, Jeanette Ottesen Gray)
7. Japan (Haruka Ueda, Yayoi Matsumoto, Miki Uchida, Hanae Ito)
8. Sweden Disqualified
