of the men's 4x1 team at worlds, the handoffs were not clean, but thankfully it didn't matter — Coleman ran up on Kerley, and Kerley ran up on Carnes . The U.S., Jamaica, Italy and Great Britain were all quite close when Lyles got the baton, and he used the 200m speed that has garnered him three straight world championships to pull away from the pack.The American women were favorites as well, though Jamaica's team was predictably strong.
Youngster Tamari Davis, the 20-year old who finished third at the U.S. championships in the 100 and qualified for the final in that event here, showed she isn't afraid of the big stage with her leadoff leg. TeeTee Terry, who anchored the gold-medal winning team last year, was second leg alongside Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. She handed off to 200m silver medalist Gabby Thomas, who gave Richardson the lead that she never relinquished to Jackson.
Jackson was the 100m silver medalist and 200m gold medalist, running the second-fastest time in the event in the process.Also on Saturday, shot putter Chase Ealey defended her 2022 gold medal with a season-best of 20.43m . She is the only American woman to ever win gold in the event, and her win also meant a U.S. sweep: world record holder Ryan Crouser won his second consecutive men's shot put gold on Day 1 of the meet.
With one day of competition remaining, the United States is dominating the medal table with 27 total ; Jamaica is closest in the count with 11 medals .
