The gold medal went to the United States (3:09.28), who managed to finish ahead of both Australia (+1.07) and the Azzurri (+1.42), showing remarkable resilience by maintaining their performance despite competing in the seventh lane following their sixth-place finish in the morning qualifiers (3:12.94).

For Italy, this marks a continued presence on the Olympic podium in this discipline, following the silver medal won three years ago in Tokyo.
