USA retains mixed 4x400m relay title at 2025 World Athletics Championships 

Team USA stormed to victory in the mixed 4x400m relay final at the World Athletics Championships, successfully defending their crown with a championship record time of 3:08.80.

The quartet of Bryce Deadmon, Lynna Irby-Jackson, Jenoah McKiver, and Alexis Holmes — dominated the race from start to finish, finishing more than a second ahead of a strong Dutch team anchored by Femke Bol.

Belgium claimed the bronze medal, clocking 3:10.61.

The win marked a statement performance from the Americans, who were narrowly beaten by the Netherlands in a dramatic finish at the Paris 2024 Olympics. 

Since then, Team USA has reasserted its dominance, including a commanding victory at the World Relays earlier this year.

In Tokyo, the Americans built a slim lead over the first two legs. McKiver extended the gap on the third, before Holmes brought it home in emphatic fashion.
