Australia has won the Olympic women s 4x100m freestyle relay gold medal at the Tokyo Games in a world-record time.
Flagbearer Cate Campbell, her sister Bronte, Emma McKeon and Meg Harris torched their opposition to win Sunday s final in three minutes 29.69 seconds at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.
The time bettered Australia s previous world benchmark of 3:30.05 set at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
The comprehensive victory - almost three seconds ahead of silver medallists Canada - delivers Australia a third consecutive Olympic title in the event. This is the third Olympics in a row that Australia has won this event and that in itself needs to be celebrated, Campbell said.
