U.S freestyle swimmer, Conor
Dwyer secured his first gold medal in the 4x200 Freestyle
Relay event by clocking a time of 6:59:07, with the aid of fellow

Ryan Lochte, and Ricky Berens, while Australian flatwater
kayaker, Tate Smith and teammates
David Smith, Murray Stewart, and Jacob Clear captured a gold medal in the Kayak
Four (K4) 1000m Canoe Sprint. The medal marks Australia's first gold in the sport.
"We've struggled a little this Olympics," said Smith. "We've
been close, but it's the Olympic Games and it's so hard to win a
medal. To get this gold means everything to us."
One of the most recent teams to join USANA's growing list of
elite athletes also represented its country in the gold medal
football match. Mexico's National
