NANTERRE, France — Team USA raced to silver in the men’s 4x200-meter freestyle relay final Tuesday night, coming up just short of Great Britain, which won gold.

The U.S. relay of Luke Hobson, Carson Foster, Drew Kibler and Kieran Smith finished in 7:00.78, which was 1.35 seconds behind Britain. Australia won the bronze in 7:01.98.

Team USA has now won three Olympic medals for relays after the men’s 4x100 freestyle relay won gold and the women’s 4x100 freestyle relay won silver on Saturday at Paris La Défense Arena. 

Tuesday afternoon, the men’s 4x200 free relay team qualified second with a time of 7:05.57, behind Great Britain and ahead of France, Australia and Germany. The American prelims lineup featured Kibler, Brooks Curry, Blake Pieroni and Chris Guiliano, but only Kibler swam in both prelims and the final.

Hobson won bronze in the individual 200 freestyle Monday night. The relay medal was the United States' fourth of the night.
