The United States, with Michael Phelps swimming the lead-off leg, won the Olympic gold medal Wednesday in the 800-meter freestyle relay.

Richard ("Ricky") Berens (born April 21, 1988 in Charlotte, North Carolina) is an American Olympic swimmer.

At the 2007 Pan American Games, Berens won a gold medal in the 4x100 m medley, and silver medals in both the 4x100 m freestyle and 4x200 m freestyle relays.

At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Berens won the gold medal in the men's 4x200 m freestyle relay with Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, and Peter Vanderkaay, setting a new world record of 6:58.56. Berens swam the third leg in a time of 1:46.29.
