Little led the Americans out of the gate quickly, and as she handed the baton off to McLaughlin-Levrone, the Jamaican team fell off course and did not finish the race. McLaughlin-Levrone jumped out to an unfathomable lead. Nobody was even close to her.
She then gave the baton to Thomas, who increased the lead even more, as the battle for second place got tougher with Ireland, the Netherlands and Great Britain. Holmes completed the final leg to solidify an American gold.
