Men's 4x100m Relay Final | World Athletics Championships Doha 2019

Welcome to the World Athletics Watch Party, join the conversation on Twitter with our hashtag #WatchWorldAthletics.

The United States men’s 4x100m relay team led off by individual 100m champion Christian Coleman and anchored by individual 200m champion Noah Lyles was always going to have a chance of gold – assuming they avoided the fallibility that has often dogged their nation’s sprint relay ambitions.

This they did as they transported the baton all the way round in total security in 37.10 – the second-fastest time ever run behind the 36.84 recorded by the Jamaican team that Usain Bolt anchored to victory at the London 2012 Olympic Games. It also beat the US record of 37.38 set at the 2015 World Relays.

Despite losing their title, the British quartet was also left smiling as they put it all together to take silver in a European record of 37.36, eclipsing the time of 37.47 they had run in securing a home victory in London’s Olympic Stadium two years ago.

do people realize that this was one of the fastest 4x100 race ever? the 6 finishes were all among the top 10 fastest time IN HISTORY

[booyahu]

Japan team is amazing. Not the fastest team, but they have the best transitions ever. So smooth to watch their runners pass the baton with ease.

[chrischoi]

The Doha intros were on another level!

[vgbombay]

Coleman was the perfect lead gaining a lot of ground on the Chinese, And lyles Was the perfect anchor. That top end speed is ridiculous

[oseirabor]

Gatlin still running at age 37. What a man

[nephtheprince]

Japan was so happy to even be in the top 3🙂 I love watching this over again..

[carlwilliams]

Hot dang! An American record, a European record, and an Asian record. All 3 medalists brought their A-game.

[JamaicanMeCrazy]

So weird to see a Sprint relay final without Jamaica. (Edit one year later look at those likes holy cow)

[gordonmckenzie]

Lyles and Coleman the future of US sprinting...give props where it's due!

[dupree]

Japan understands the baton should never slow down..great exchanges Japan

[carlalexander]

These guys are lethal, individually they are TOPS, If no mistakes collectively they're unbeatable!!, USA, USA, USA

[nakaji]

Japan team is young. Average age was 22.3 years old at Doha 2019.

[heisenberg]

Lyles has all the top end speed in the world. Instead of slowing down at the end he just keeps going faster.

[rock]

The anchor for Japan looks sweet in slow mo. Love how Lyles runs. He's moving. Reminds me of how horse move when they are races. He's using every part of his body. Wishing this brotha a very successful career. Cant wit to watch. ❤

[pobembe]

Kudos to the USA, and to Japan who are really improving.

[EjnrTV]

Coleman out the blocks and Lyles finish. Perfect combination

[y-rokenjnr]

Man I'm going to really miss the Olympics this year

[aaddilll]

Noah Lyles : looks back
Usain bolt : No baby I'm at home

Six of the seven finalist teams finished under 38 seconds. Those athletes were moving out!! Clean handoffs, superb sprinting and impeccable timing made for a great race. The team of Great & Britain and Northern Ireland put forth a valiant effort (new European record in fact), but they're probably inconsolable because despite a record setting performance, they still lost to the yanks.

Japan's handoffs were impressive. Noah Lyles hit the fast forward button.
