DOHA, Qatar (AP) — American swimmer Hunter Armstrong helped himself to two more medals on the closing day of the World Aquatics Championships in Qatar on Sunday, winning the men's 4x100 medley relay with the United States team after taking the silver in the men’s 50 backstroke.
Armstrong, who swam the first leg, praised his teammates Nic Fink, Zach Harting and Matt King after the United States won in 3 minutes 29.80 seconds. The Netherlands took silver in 3:31.23 with Italy in bronze (3:31.59).
“We start strong and we finish stronger,” Armstrong said. “We take pride in our medley relay.”
The Ohio native won golds earlier in the championships in the mixed 4x100 medley relay and men’s 100 backstroke.
