The USA was favoured to win its fourth title in a row, and had the fastest heat time (42.49). Russia were the surprise leaders after the first leg in the final, with Leshchova (11.52) just ahead of Clarke (11.56) and Gaines (11.57). Devers overtook the veteran Malchugina, but could not get ahead of Sturrup, who handed over with a slim lead for the Bahamas. Inger Miller, daughter of double medal winner Lennox, ran 10.38 for her leg and gave Torrence a half metre lead. Behind them Voronova had the best 100m curve (10.26) of the race to put Russia a metre behind the Bahamas. Torrence ran a fine anchor to give the USA a 2m win, with Jamaica passing Russia for bronze thanks to Ottey’s anchor of 9.83, fastest of the race.
