Both U.S. men’s and women’s teams claimed victory in the 4x100, helping the Americans close the night with 27 medals.
This is the sort of finish that was supposed to be routine for the United States, which for decades has brought the deepest group of fast sprinters into the relay and did so again this time.This race has never been simply about speed, though, and the U.S. has had tons of problems with baton passes over the years.Those sticks have cost the men wins in 12 worlds and Olympics since 1995.
The exchange between Brandon Carnes and Lyles wasn’t quite as clean, and the American had about a step on Jamaica’s Rohan Watson once he received the baton. The best closer in this race wasn’t Jamaican, though. It was Lyles, and he was screaming the moment he crossed to finish this meet 3 for 3. The U.S. closed the night with 27 medals and one day of competition left. Some would argue none of them will be sweeter than these two.
