The United States maintained their slim lead over Australia thanks to the women’s 100 breast, where Lydia Jacoby stunned Olympic Record-holder Tatjana Schoenmaker of South Africa and World Record-holder and defending champion, USA’s Lilly King, for the gold. Five years ago they were 11th on Day 3 with one silver medal. Russians Evgeny Rylov (51.98) and Kliment Kolesnikov (52.00) roared to a 1-2 finish in the 100 back, earning Russia’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in the event and pulling their nation into the 5th spot on the table. In 2016, they were 5th at the end of Day 3. Their performances kept the British team in 3rd place on the medal table. Dean out-touched his teammate 1:44.22 to 1:44.26 and, in the process, undercut Scott’s GBR National Record as well. The British freestylers Tom Dean and Duncan Scott went 1-2 in the 200 final with nearly identical times. The third finals session came with big statements from the Russian Olympic Committee and Great Britain, who together swept the gold and silver medals in two of the four finals.
