LONDON - The United States won the Olympic swimming women's 4x100m medley relay gold in a world record time of 3min 52.05sec on Saturday.
The American quartet of Missy Franklin, Rebecca Soni, Dana Vollmer and
Allison Schmitt improved on the previous record of 3:52.19 set by China in winning the world title in Rome in 2009.
For 17-year-old Colorado high school student Franklin it was a fourth gold in the final women's pool event of the Games. She, Vollmer and Soni had all set individual world records at the London Aquatics Centre.
