In the swimming mixed 4x100m medley event teams can choose the order in which their swimmers compete, meaning during some legs women face off directly against men.
The event is one the highlights of the most gender-balanced Games in history, joining triathlon, judo, athletics, shooting, archery and table tennis in having a new mixed-gender Olympic event.
Great Britain swam to victory – and a new world record – in the debut Olympic mixed 4x100m medley relay final. China and Australia took silver and bronze respectively.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games took place in Japan, from July 23, 2021 to August 8, 2021.
Much better than races where wannabe-women compete with real women
I didn't know what to expect clicking on this video. I usually hate swimming but I found this pretty fun!
Only if micheal phelps raced it would have been over
Тothing interesting, all the same just to please the leftists, mixed men and women, the whole tactic is to put 2 men in the beginning, so that from the middle not to be constantly catching up, that's all
Race starts at 5:00 finishes 8:45
played this so many times and still get tense at the end . do you ?
worst race I’ve ever seen
Good job USA
L'unica cosa che ha vinto la Gran Bretagna quest'anno
Backstroke -Regan smith
Breaststroke -Michael Andrew
Butterfly -Caleb drussel
Freestyle-Simone Manuel or anyone who could swim less than 53 sec
Would have bought atleast a medal to USA.
Wow Great Britain and Australia made up a lot of ground on butterfly!
Israel should have been kicked out of the competition. The tournament has lost much of its popularity due to the participation of Israel as a competitor. The world must raise their voice against the Israel state. We will never recognize this illegal occupation of the MIddle-East land. May the almighty punish the betrayers with severe punitive destructions.
I like how the Chinese put the medals around their teammates necks and congratulated each other
Australia should've put Chalmers on the freestyle and McKeon on butterfly
fuck yea
US required better Male breaststroker….and someone who can fill the gap of simone Manuel as she is clearly out of form. female spinters better than abby weitziel
Big bulshit in history .
GREAT JOB CHINA!!❤️🇨🇳 PREVIOUS WR HOLDER AND SILVER HERE AT THE OLYMPICS!!!🎉💓
I knew that when Jacoby's goggles slipped down off her eyes, I knew that the U.S team was doomed.
UK awesome
I like the swimming events like this.
Best thing Israel lost LOL
James Guy Peaty Scott British Legends
The clearly useless effort of women they did nothing but losing to the boys.
TeamGB 🇬🇧
China team are amazing, GB only won cause the posture taller
Didn't know that this mix even existing!🤭😁
I cant believe how stupid are US coach. You have the best swimmers in every stroke and you loose. How can you put a women in the slowest stroke? Those are seconds lost.
Oh goodness 😳 the American goggles are down!
I am from Baku,Azerbaijan.
Swimming is good sport.
I don't like Baku's airport
If jacoby wasn't lose her goggles America would win the gold
Glad to see mixed gender races introduced in Tokyo 2020. They are so interesting. Hope such races continue in future Olympics and World Championship.
These were the worst Olympics EVER!!
Please upload women's 100m and 200m backstroke final full replay, and Ariarne Titmus 200m and 400m finals full replays, Thank you
honestly, ive done mixed relays in practice and I'm telling you:
this event is DEFINETLY just and ONLY for the swimmers cause this thing is SO fun
Commenter can't stop laughing
The US coaches were exceedingly stupid this year. Putting together this team, instead of a Smith, King or Jacoby, Dressel, Apple combo. Also, putting APPLE in the 200fr relay. It was so dumb.
This really highlights just how much faster and more powerful the men are. You can't tell when they're racing against each other, but then you mix the genders together and all of sudden the difference is massive.
I have a question, can I compete in any race without being in any club?
Peaty's face is so British
The drama of that race is what the Olympics needed
It was great to see a mixed relay, great idea!
I'm just waiting to see how many female transgender will be classed as the 2 female swimmers, if they keep this race in the Olympics.
8:28 see, current fastest man on earth in lane 5… I loved this event.
NICE WR! o, is it the first ever race like this? Ok 😀
Great format, the mixed relays both swimming and track are awesome and I hope it continues.
Breaststroke is the slowest stroke and this is where you find the biggest difference between men and women so it makes sense to have a man swim that leg. Freestyle is where there is the narrowest margin between men and women so having a woman swim this leg makes sense. I suspect butterfly, although the second fastest stroke is best swam by a man because, like breaststroke (from which it derives) it’s very much a ‘power’ stroke. That leaves backstroke for the woman.
The US team got their line up horribly wrong.
It was so fascinating to watch especially with the order and the different tactics every team had
4:23 Jacoby goggles looks like its going to slip. I think its more secure if the strap is inside the cap.
It is a pity China does not have a decent female 100m freestyle swimmer, this is the only drawback that prevents them from winning gold.
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand how anyone can watch mixed gender races and think it’s okay for trans women to compete against biological women?
