General Interest

General
Italy are making their 13th consecutive appearance in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay at Tokyo 2020. It is their 19th Olympic appearance overall in the event, after they first swam at the 1920 Games in Antwerp. They have been consistent Olympic finalists in recent times, qualifying for the final at eight of the 11 Games since 1976, but their only medal is a bronze at Athens 2004. The men's 4x200m freestyle relay is the only relay event in which Italy have won an Olympic medal in the pool.

The Italians have twice finished on the podium at the world championships, claiming bronze in 1991 and silver in 2001. They went close to adding to their medal total in 2019 in a tight race in Gwangju, finishing in fourth place just 0.03s behind the third-placed US team and 0.03s ahead of the fifth-placed British team.

At the European championships, the Italian team won five consecutive titles in the event from 2000 to 2008. They claimed bronze at the tournament in 2016, 2018, and 2021.
