The United States dominated the World Athletics Relays by winning four of the five golds on offer in the Bahamas on Sunday.<\/b><\/p>\n
Noah Lyles got the men’s team over the line in the 4x100m as they won in 37.40 seconds ahead of Canada (37.89s).<\/p>\n
Defending champions Italy, led by reigning Olympic 100m gold medallist Marcell Jacobs, were initially credited with bronze but were later disqualified, giving third to France.<\/p>\n
American Gabby Thomas claimed two golds, first as part of the women’s 4x100m relay team and then in the women’s 4x400m relay.<\/p>\n
“It’s been a great preparation,” said Thomas. “At the end of the day I knew the girls would have it regardless because they have a great 4x400m relay squad.<\/p>\n
“It’s a testament to how we came to World Relays, we came prepared with the mentality to get the job done and we were committed to that.”<\/p>\n
Britain’s team of Alyson Bell, Amy Hunt, Bianca Williams and Aleeya Sibbons won bronze in the women’s 4x100m, with France taking silver.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the US team of Matthew Boling, Lynna Irby-Jackson, Willington Wright and Kendall Ellis set a championship record when winning the mixed 4x400m relay in three minutes 10.73 seconds.<\/p>\n
Netherlands won silver with Ireland taking the bronze.<\/p>\n
Botswana became the first African nation to win a men\u2019s sprint event at the World Relays with victory in the men\u2019s 4x400m. <\/p>\n
The hosts had earlier secured their place in the Olympics by winning their mixed 4x400m relay heat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
