World Athletics Championships 2022: Sydney McLaughlin Leads United States To 4x400m Relay Gold – In Pics

Sydney McLaughlin took the last victorious lap of an All-American World Athletics Championships 2022, pulling away in the 4x400m relay to close a US runaway and give the Americans their record 33rd medal of the meet. McLaughlin turned a .73-second lead into a 2.93-second runaway on the anchor lap, adding this burst of speed to the world record she set two nights earlier in the 400 hurdles. The last was especially sweet, as it also marked the 14th and final world gold for 36-year-old Allyson Felix, who came out of retirement to run in the preliminary of the 4x400 and, so, gets a medal. She finishes her career with a record 20 world medals, overall. The United States comprising Talitha Diggs, Abby Steiner, Britton Wilson and Sydney McLaughlin clocked 3:17.79s ahead of Jamaica (silver) and Great Britain (bronze).
