Team GB secure BRONZE in the men’s 4x100m as Zharnel Hughes and Co are pipped by Canada and South Africa… as Team USA fail to make the podium
- A Zharnel Hughes-inspired Team GB wins bronze in the men’s 4x100m final
- Canadian veteran runners take gold as South Africa takes silver
- The US AGAIN fails to reach the podium after being disqualified on their first handoff
The British men won an impressive bronze medal in the 4x100m, equalling the British women’s podium finish at the rainy Stade de France.
Zharnel Hughes led the quartet to a medal in the final stage, following runs from teammates Jeremiah Azu, Louie Hinchliffe and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, who finished in 37.61.
However, Canada was the surprise with their experienced team of ‘war robbers’ taking gold, followed by South Africa, who took silver.
It was ANOTHER race to forget for the American relay team, who were disqualified after their first baton exchange.
Zharnel Hughes was part of the British men’s team that won bronze in the 4x100m relay
The Canadian quartet of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse won from lane nine with a season best time of 37.50 seconds.
The relay runners from South Africa clocked a time of 37.57, good for a silver podium place.
The British women won silver in the 4x100m relay, just minutes ahead of the men’s race
Dina Asher-Smith, Imani Lansiquot, Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita had two tricky changes in the rain in Paris, but Neita performed excellently on the final stretch.
Netia nearly beat 100m silver medallist Sha’Carri Richardson on the final stretch to win gold for Britain, but the American crossed the finish line first in 41.78 seconds.
