The U.S. has historically owned the 4x100m medley relay on the men's side, winning it at every Olympics since its debut in 1960 except for the boycotted 1980 Moscow Games. They are going for a 10th consecutive gold at the Tokyo Games.

Meanwhile, the U.S. women have been almost just as dominant, winning 10 of the event's 15 all-time golds.
