The 4x100 meter relay is one of the most thrilling events in track and field, but because it requires precision for blind baton handoffs, you never quite know how races will shake out.
The men's and women's 4x100 medal races were held at the World Athletics Championships, and neither favorite won gold, instead taking silver.
Jackson, who won 200 meters gold earlier this week, certainly closed the gap on Terry but couldn't ultimately overtake her before the line. Jamaica's time was 41.18 seconds. Germany won bronze in 42.03 seconds and was clearly thrilled to have medaled. But Canada's Andre DeGrasse, the Tokyo Olympics 200m champion who has dealt with a foot injury and two bouts of COVID this year, which has meant a disappointing season for him, would not disappoint on Saturday night. DeGrasse caught and passed Bracy to give Canada the gold in 37.48 seconds.
