Swimming - Team Great Britain

General
Competing in the 4x100m medley relay at Tokyo 2020 means that Great Britain's women maintain their record of appearing in every Olympic edition of the event since it was first included at the 1960 Games in Rome. They share the record with Australia.

In 15 Olympic appearances since 1960, Great Britain have been regular finalists but have only stood on the podium once, claiming a silver medal at the boycott-affected 1980 Games. At London 2012 they were last in the final, and then improved a place in 2016 in Rio to finish seventh.

At the world championships, Great Britain are yet to claim a medal with a best result of fourth in 2007 and 2009. Similar to their most recent Olympic appearances, they qualified for the final at the last two editions of the tournament but finished off the pace in seventh [2017] and eighth [2019].

The British team have plenty of medals at continental level, however. They won gold at the most recent edition of the European championships held in 2021 in a time of 3:54.01.
