France (3:44.27), Great Britain (3:45.69), Spain (3:45.87), and Greece all broke 3:46 behind them. Their absence opens up opportunities for France, the Netherlands, and Great Britain to win a medal tonight. Great Britain also has lineup decisions to make, with Angharad Evans, Filip Nowacki, and Adam Ramsay-Peaty all in contention on the breaststroke leg. They may swap out all four legs, with 2024 World champion Angelina Kohler to come in on fly, 2024 European champion Melvin Imoudu to come in on breaststroke, and Kaii Winkler and Nina Holt on backstroke and freestyle, respectively. They could end up as medal contenders from lane 8 tonight.
