SAINT-DENIS, France — The U.S. men’s and women’s 4×400 meter relay teams did more than just sweep Olympic gold on Saturday night.
They also cemented Paris 2024 as USA Track & Field’s most successful Olympics in 40 years.
Shortly after 9 p.m. Rai Benjamin took the baton in first on the final leg, then held off a charge from Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo — winner of the 200 on Thursday — to win the men’s 4×400 relay in Olympic record time of 2:54.43 — .10 ahead of Tebogo.
