China snaps U.S. men's streak in Olympic medley relay, closing swim slate full of questions with second gold

China won the gold medal in the men’s 4×100-meter medley relay, ending the United States’ undefeated record in the race at the Olympics. Chinese swimmers faced questions about a doping scandal from the Tokyo Games three years ago. On his 20th birthday, Pan Zhanle swam the final leg, taking China from third to first. The U.S. took silver, making it the second time they didn’t win the event since its debut in 1960. China won 12 swimming medals in Paris, doubling its tally from Tokyo, but faced scrutiny over doping allegations. The investigation into meat contamination in several countries, including China, is ongoing.
