Summary
USA with
Sashalee Forbes took a quick glance back, USA's
Tori Bowie took a more serious look to make sure she got the baton, effectively in
4 × 400 metres handoff style, while Germany to
Rebekka Haase and the British to
Daryll Neita used the more conventional blind handoffs to pull closer. Onto the straightaway, Bowie had a half metre lead over Forbes and Neita, who were virtually even. Neita looked to stay with Bowie for the first half of the straightaway, separating from Jamaica before Bowie put in some clear separation for the USA win. As Neita tightened, Forbes started to close but not enough for Jamaica to take the silver away from the British.
