- A Zharnel Hughes-inspired Team GB win bronze in the men’s 4x100m finals
- Canada’s veteran runners power to gold, with South Africa taking silver
- The USA fail to make a podium AGAIN, after being DQ’d on their first handover
Team GB’s men have taken a dramatic bronze in the 4x100m, matching Great Britain’s women with a podium position in rain-drenched Stade de France.
Zharnel Hughes rocketed the quartet to a medal in the anchor leg, following runs from teammates Jeremiah Azu, Louie Hinchliffe and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake to finish in 37.61.
Canada were the surprise package, however, with their veteran team of ‘war horses’ storming to gold followed by South Africa, for silver.
Yet again it was ANOTHER race to forget for the USA’s relay team, who ended up being disqualified after their first baton exchange.
