Team Israel included Anastasia Gorbenko (backstroke), Itay Goldfaden (breaststroke), Gal Cohen-Groumi (butterfly) and Andrea Murez (freestyle).
The four, who set a new Israeli record of 3:43.94 minutes in the qualifiers, swam a little slower this time, although even a new Israeli record would have left them deep in last place in the final, as the Russian quartet, which finished in seventh place, finished with a significantly shorter time of 3:42.45 minutes.
Britain won the gold medal in the final race, with a world record time of 3:37.58. China won the silver and Australia took bronze.
