Venue: Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam 31,600.
31 competitors from 8 nations.
After setting an unratified world record of 49.3 in the heats, Canada led from start to finish. Rosenfeld picked up just over a metre on Washburn, and Schmidt closed up on the USA on the second leg. Then Bell ran well for Canada, unexpectedly gaining ground on the USA. A fine anchor leg by Robinson ensured second place for the USA, with Cook, deriving some satisfaction after her disqualification from the individual 100m, running a fine leg in anchoring Canada to a world record of 48.4.
