The American 4×400 meter mixed relay won the gold medal at the Budapest Worlds on Saturday after a mad race marked by the huge fall of the Dutch star Femke Bol.
Compared to the series played this morning, Belgium made a change with the experienced Jonathan Borleewhich replaced Florent Mabille. Authors of the 3rd fastest time in the series, the Belgians finished in 5th position, behind France, the Czech Republic, Great Britain and the United States.
Robin Vanderbemben, Imke VervaetJonathan Borlee and Camille Laus posted a time of 3.13.83. In front, the USA offered themselves a new world record (3.08.80).
And the Dutch favorites in all this? They were simply downgraded. As she was about to be overtaken in the home straight, reigning European 400m champion Femke Bol fell, before getting up and crossing the finish line… without the witness.
