Canada Wins First World Relays Mixed 4x100 Title in Guangzhou

Canada won the inaugural World Relays mixed 4×100-meter relay title in Guangzhou, China, with the team of Sade McCreath, Marie-Eloise Leclair, Duan Asemota, and Eliezer Adjibi finishing in a season-best time of 40.30 seconds. They edged out Jamaica and Great Britain and Northern Ireland, who posted times of 40.44 and 40.88 respectively, marking the best performances of 2025 for all three teams. Despite their success at the World Relays, the mixed 4×100 event will not be contested at the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, so the Canadian team will not compete there. Meanwhile, Canada's men's 4×100 team, the reigning Olympic champions, secured a bronze medal behind South Africa and the United States, overcoming a problematic baton exchange between Aaron Brown and Jerome Blake. The Canadian 4×400 mixed team also qualified for the World Championships after improving their season-best time to 3:12.95 in the qualifying rounds. Overall, Canada showcased strong performances across multiple relay events in Guangzhou, securing medals and qualification spots for Tokyo.
