Great Britain retain their 4x200m freestyle relay Olympic title to secure the team's first swimming gold in Paris.
came agonisingly close with silvers, the same quartet that won in Tokyo - Richards, James Guy, Tom Dean and Duncan Scott - reunited to win in the cauldron of La Defense Arena.
As well as their Olympic gold in 2021, they won the world title in 2023 and came into this race as huge favourites. Guy gave the team a flying start. He is supposedly the weakest freestyler but built a lead over American Luke Hobson, who won bronze in the individual event on Monday. Richards, who is from Worcestershire but born in Wales, stretched the lead again to hand Scott the advantage, and he was never going to be caught.
