BEIJING: Jamaica stunned Olympic champions the United States to capture the women’s world 4×400 metres relay title on Sunday.
Anchor leg Novlene Williams-Mills pulled out a stunning last 50m to catch Francena McCorory in Beijing as the Jamaicans clocked three minutes, 19.13 seconds the best time in the world this year to pip their rivals on the line.
American star Allyson Felix looked to have dug her team out of an early hole with a storming third leg to give McCorory a headstart into the last lap until Williams-Mills kicked coming into the home straight to win it for Jamaica. Britain took bronze in 3:23.62.
