Stunning Upset: U.S. Men's Relay Stumbles Amidst Chaos
The U.S. men's 4x400 relay team, historically dominant in world championships, failed to reach the finals due to obstruction during their heat. Despite a strong recovery effort, they finished in sixth place. Botswana faced disqualification while the U.S. women's team advanced emphatically. Finals are scheduled for Sunday.
The U.S. men's 4x400 relay team, winners of nine of the last ten world golds, faced an unexpected setback on Saturday. Struggling from the beginning, they got embroiled in a clash with Zambians, leading to a disappointing sixth-place finish in their heat.
Troubles continued as Jenoah McKiver, running the anchor leg, attempted a strong comeback. He momentarily surged ahead, but his fast start saw him fade back to sixth, overshadowed by stellar performances from South Africa and Qatar.
Meanwhile, the U.S. women's team shone in their heat, aiming to reclaim their title with a world-leading performance. Both relay finals are anticipated on Sunday night.
