The Men’s 4x100m Relay Final at the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025, held on September 21, 2025 at the National Stadium in Tokyo, Japan. History was made on a rainy night at the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025 as the United States stormed to gold in the Women’s 4x100m Relay Final, clocking 41.75. Melissa Jefferson-Wooden opened with confidence, Twanisha Terry and Kayla White kept the team in contention, and Sha’Carri Richardson sealed it with a blistering 10.08 anchor split, delivering her third gold medal of the championships.

Jamaica, led off by the retiring legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and powered by the Clayton sisters, battled the U.S. stride for stride before Jonielle Smith brought them home in 41.79 for silver. Fraser-Pryce ended her extraordinary career with a 17th World Championship medal, cementing her status as one of the greatest sprinters of all time.

Behind them, Germany shocked the field as Gina Lückenkemper’s 9.85 anchor leg powered them past Great Britain to claim bronze in 41.87. Team GB, despite Dina Asher-Smith’s lightning-fast 11.27 opener, finished fourth in 42.07.

This wasn’t just a race — it was a moment of legacy. Jefferson-Wooden joined the history books with her triple crown of sprint titles (100m, 200m, and 4x100m), while Fraser-Pryce signed off with one final medal in her farewell race.
