The race was won by USA, with Australia and Italy completing the podium."Obviously it's frustrating - we really wanted to try and get in there and go after the medals," Richards told BBC Sport."So it's tough to be on the wrong side of it but I think we all put in a great effort. We couldn't have asked for much more."
