EUGENE — The United States maintained their stranglehold of the men’s 4×400 meters relay on Sunday as they won World Championships gold in dominant style.
The United States have now won eight of the past nine world titles and eight of the past 10 Olympic golds and Sunday’s crown never looked in doubt.
Elija Godwin and Bryce Deadmon were retained from the semi-finals with newly-crowned individual gold medallist Michael Norman and Champion Allison, fourth in the final, drafted in and each man extended the lead as they came home in two minutes, 56.17 seconds.
In a race of their own 20 meters back, Jamaica took silver with Belgium collecting the bronze.
