world Men 4x100m Relay History

Venue: Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam 31,600.
Canada (42.2) and France (41.8) the other heat winners. Germany had twice run 40.8 during 1928 – neither of which was ever ratified as a world record – and qualified easily in 42.0 behind France. In the final the USA and Germany were evenly matched until the final changeover, when Körnig started too early and had to slow slight- ly to get the baton from Houben. By then Russell was clear, and he won by one and a half metres. Britain was third after London made up nearly 5m on Mourlon.
