Team USA BREAKS World Record in Mixed 4x400m Relay at Paris 2024

On the opening night of the track and field program at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Team USA made a stunning impact by setting a new world record in the mixed 4x400m relay during the heats on Friday, August 2nd. The quartet comprising Bryce Deadmon, Vernon Norwood, Shamier Little, and Kaylyn Brown delivered an electrifying performance, clocking an astonishing time of 3:07.41, which shaved over a second off the previous world record set by the US at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest.

The race was a masterclass in teamwork and strategy, with the US team leading from the very start. Vernon Norwood, running the first leg, put the team in a commanding position, setting the stage for his teammates. Norwood's smooth and powerful running ensured that the baton was handed over with a significant lead, which Shamier Little, running the second leg, capitalized on to further stretch the advantage.

Shamier Little, known for her strength and consistency, maintained the lead with a solid performance that kept the pressure on their competitors. By the time she handed over the baton to Bryce Deadmon for the third leg, the US team was already well ahead. Deadmon, with his explosive speed and endurance, extended the lead even more, creating a significant gap between Team USA and the other teams.
