"No matter what way we swim it, they're trying to get at us, America has an eye on us, and we’ve got a big target on our backs now" - Duncan Scott, World champ. ion again, with Matt Richards, James Guy, Jack McMillan & heats men Tom Dean and Evan Jones
Great Britain's 4x200m freestyle Olympic champions, extended their golden era with yet another World title here in Singapore this evening a baton of three 1:45s handed to anchor Duncan Scott, who turned a five-way fight into a sixth major global honour in eight times of asking since 2015.
The eight-times Olympic medallist and Britain teammates Matt Richards, James Guy and Jack McMillan won by more than a second, in 6:59.84, over China and Australia, the mighty USA and Korea locked out. The last time the Americans missed the medals was 1998.
All four Brits played a winning card, but It was Scott's ace that demolished the tactical plan the Americans had bargained on in their bid to be top dog again after decades of dominance before Britain's ascendancy.
