Team USA’s women finished swimming’s final race of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in style, setting a world record and taking the Olympic title in the 4x100m medley relay on Sunday, 4 August.

Four-hundredths of a second separated Nashville native Gretchen Walsh from her first Olympic gold medal Sunday in Paris. Walsh, a Harpeth Hall graduate, finished the 100-meter butterfly final in 55.63 seconds.

One night, she set a world record. The next, she accomplished her dream. University of Virginia rising senior Gretchen Walsh had a weekend to remember at the United States Olympic Swim Trials in Indianapolis.

As the two gear up for their third and fourth championships, the Walsh sisters stand as a force to be reckoned with, and the names to beat.

The packing/wardrobe dilemma facing the Walsh sisters is quite real. Alex and Gretchen Walsh will be representing Team USA at this month’s World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.

Alex and Gretchen partnered with Sporti by SwimOutlet.com because they were excited to be apart of the creative process, the designs reflecting their individual tastes, the shoot and the media creation.  They seem overwhelmed, even humbled, by the positive response.
