The USA was pre-race favourites, but only the fourth-fastest in the heats with 42.50, beaten in the first race by the Unified Team, com- prised of four Russians. Jamaica, the World Champions, won the other heat in 42.28, ahead of Nigeria’s 42.39, with France third in 42.58. Ashford, attempting to become the first woman to win three relay gold medals, led off and ran a good leg, but lost ground when Jones started too late, and Ashford had to steady Jones’s hand to receive the baton. Jamaica and the Unified Team were ahead, but Cuthbert pulled a mus- cle just before handing over, and the baton never got to Duhaney. Trandenkova took over from Malchugina with more than a metre’s advantage, and by the time Privalova had the baton, the advantage was nearly 2m over the USA. Torrence closed in on the Russian, and passed her with 20m to go to win by half a metre.
