US Women Set World Record Win Nine Golds Swim Worlds Singapore

At the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, the U.S. women's swimming team set a new world record in the 4x100m medley relay with a time of 3:49.34, securing a dramatic final gold and bringing the U.S. medal count to nine golds, 11 silvers, and nine bronzes. This record-breaking relay capped a challenging championship for the Americans, who battled acute gastroenteritis contracted during pre-competition training, impacting earlier performances. Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh delivered a standout performance with four gold medals in individual events, while Gretchen Walsh and Katie Ledecky contributed multiple victories for the U.S. The American women’s team carried the bulk of the medal haul, with the men earning just one gold, highlighting the strength of the female squad. Australia finished second with eight golds and 20 total medals, and France placed third, led by Leon Marchand's double gold in the men's individual medley events. Despite health setbacks, the U.S. team finished strongly, with relay anchor Torri Huske and teammates Regan Smith and Kate Douglass playing key roles in the record-setting performance.
