Sha'Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles anchored the U.S. to back-to-back victories in the 4x100 on Saturday, giving the Americans a sweep of the short relays at the world championships for the first time since 2007.
For Lyles, it closed out a 3-for-3 championships. He's the first man since Usain Bolt in 2015 to win the 100, 200 and 4x100 at worlds.
The men stayed on the track to watch the women, and when Richardson crossed, lead U.S. runner Christian Coleman came out and tackled the 100-meter champion and they fell to the track. Richardson popped right back up and everyone laughed. She will leave Budapest with her two golds, plus a bronze in the 200.Italy finished second in the men's race at 37.62, followed by Jamaica.
This race has never been simply about speed, though, and the U.S. has had tons of problems with baton passes over the years. Quanera Hayes and Alexis Holmes passed outside the lane in qualifying of the longer race, in which the exchange isn't even supposed to be hard, and the U.S. was DQ'd.
