USA Wins Mixed 4x400m Relay Tokyo World Championships

The United States secured their third victory in the 4x400m mixed relay at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo 2025, tying the championship record with a time of 3:08.80. This win marked a form of redemption against the Netherlands, who had defeated the U.S. in last year's Olympics, with Dutch anchor Femke Bol finishing strong but settling for silver. Belgium earned their first-ever global medal in the event by capturing bronze. The U.S. team, led by Bryce Deadmon, Lynna Irby-Jackson, Jenoah McKiver, and anchored by Alexis Holmes, maintained a commanding lead throughout the race. The event highlighted intense competition among the top nations, with Poland and Great Britain narrowly missing the podium despite strong performances. This mixed relay remains a popular and fiercely contested event since its 2019 inception.
