Day eight of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest 23 was a triumphant day for the United States, as the nation secured multiple victories in a series of exhilarating events. The day concluded in jubilant fashion, with Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson leading the charge in the respective men’s and women’s 4x100m finals. These victories marked the pinnacle of an eventful day, which also saw remarkable wins for Faith Kipyegon, Mondo Duplantis, Chase Ealey, Marco Arop, and Pierce LePage.
The standout moment of the day was undoubtedly Noah Lyles’ achievement in the men’s 4x100m relay final. Lyles, who arrived in Budapest with his sights set on three gold medals, completed his mission with a blazing performance. Crossing the finish line in an impressive 37.38 seconds, Lyles not only secured victory for his team but also achieved the fastest run of the year. In a triumphant gesture, he held up three fingers, a testament to his earlier individual victories in the 100m and 200m events.
The battle for the remaining podium spots was equally intense. The Italian team, reigning Olympic champions, claimed the silver medal with a time of 37.62 seconds. Jamaica, known for its sprinting prowess, clinched the bronze medal with a time of 37.76 seconds, finishing a mere 0.04 seconds ahead of Great Britain.
In the women’s 4x100m relay final, Sha’Carri Richardson, the individual 100m champion, showcased her determination and speed once again. Garnering a one-meter lead over her Jamaican counterpart, Shericka Jackson, Richardson held onto her advantage tenaciously. Her incredible performance resulted in a championship record time of 41.03 seconds. The conclusion of the race was punctuated by a heartwarming scene, as Richardson was nearly engulfed by a reception party of four male teammates waving the Stars and Stripes flags.
Jamaica secured the silver medal in the women’s 4x100m relay with a time of 41.21 seconds, while the British team claimed the bronze medal with a time of 41.97 seconds.
