Shocking gold for GB, thanks to a horrible split by Murphy and a once in a century split by Scott. I think USA and Russia will beat them in 2020, but nevertheless amazing result for GB.

46.14 split for Duncan Scott, what the hell  

Translates to a 46.7 flat start ... crazy considering that he was more than 1 second slower in the individual race, he channeled his inner Lezak today.

But 3 teams in 0.80. So far relay of championship.

I preferred mens 800 free relay to be honest, but of course this result was far more surprising, considering that GB should have won bronze at best on paper. Still hard to see them replicating this result in 2020 with a 53.9 back split. I think both Murphy and Rylov clearly are already working towards 2020 where i expect both of them to be well under 52 seconds. Also hard to see Scott ever coming anywhere near this split again.
