PARIS — The United States won the gold medal in the Olympic women’s 4×100 meters relay on Friday, their 12th title in the event ,after Great Britain botched their final exchange.
The U.S. team of Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry, Paris Olympic 200-meter champion Gabby Thomas and Sha’Carri Richardson clocked 41.78 seconds after getting the baton around the track with no mishaps.
Britain couldn’t say the same.
Leading the U.S. through three legs, Amy Hunt struggled to get the baton into Daryll Neita’s hand in pouring rain at Stade de France. Neita lost all her momentum, but still brought Britain home in 41.85 for silver.
Germany claimed bronze in 41.97.
The U.S. have dominated the event with 12 Olympic titles, but lost to their great rivals Jamaica at the Tokyo Games.
