Zach Apple was terrible on his leg. He cost a medal.

Apparently it’s the first time in history* the US didn’t medal in the 4x200m Freestyle Relay.

Is this the first time the US fails to medal in a swimming relay for a reason other than a DQ or a boycott?

 

Edit: the US didn't compete in a single relay in very first women's 4x100m relay but otherwise have medaled at every swimming relay in non-boycotted games until today.

Which shows an interesting drop in their performance, because they've won a medal all the time, yet this time they were not even one of the three favourites and were merely the main outsider for bronze if one of the top-3 dropped the ball.
