USA gets gold in 4x400 mixed relay at World Championships
I only follow track and field during major sporting events (aka the Olympics) but it's always impressive to see. My heart goes out to the Netherlands and Femke.
From a YouTube comment:
48.82 officially on the final leg for Holmes.
Justin Robinson 44.47 (fastest 1st leg of all the finals competitors)
Rosey Effiong 50.38 (2nd fastest 2nd leg of all the finals competitors)
Matthew Boling 45.13 (6th fastest 3rd leg of all the finals competitors)
Alexis Holmes 48.82 (fastest 4th leg of all the finals competitors)
The current top comment as of posting:
That was crazy. For those who don't know who Alexis Holmes is (yet), she was part of the Kentucky team that set the NCAA 4x400 record with Abby Steiner. She is legit! Get ready to see more.

Apparently runners can be disqualified for reacting too quickly to the starting gun, I had no idea

Born in Somaliland as Hussein Abdi Kahin, Sir Mo Farah reveals his story
Sir Mo Farah has revealed that he was illegally trafficked into Britain under the name of another child as a nine-year-old and forced into domestic servitude.
The four-time Olympic champion had previously claimed he had left Somalia aged eight to join his father, after his parents made the agonising decision to send three of their six children to London for the chance of a better life.
“Most people know me as Mo Farah, but it’s not my name or it’s not the reality,” he says. “The real story is I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin. Despite what I’ve said in the past, my parents never lived in the UK.”
