The United States set two world records on the final night of swimming at the Paris Olympics, with the women's 4x100-meter medley team and Bobby Finke in the 1,500 freestyle, leading to the U.S. winning the gold medal count over Australia. Sweden's Sarah Sjoestroem swept the short-distance freestyle events, and Canada's Summer McIntosh made history by becoming the first Canadian to win three gold medals in a single Olympic Games. McIntosh's victories included the 200m individual medley, the 200m butterfly, and the 400m individual medley, with her performances setting new Olympic records. Despite American success, China won the men's 4x100 medley relay, ending the U.S.'s historic dominance in the event. The U.S. finished with a total of 28 medals, two shy of their total from Tokyo.
