4 × 400 metres Relay, Mixed

Date2 – 3 August 2024
StatusOlympic
LocationStade de France, Saint-Denis, France
Participants70 from 16 countries

Poland was the defending gold medalist, but the favorites were the United States and the Netherlands. The USA had won bronze at Tokyo 2020, and the United States and the Netherlands went 1-2 in the event at the 2024 World Athletics Relays. The Americans showed their strength by winning heat one in a world record time of 3:07.41, taking 1.39 seconds off the record they had set in winning the 2023 World Athletics Championships. Great Britain won heat two with the Netherlands second.

The final saw Belgium take the lead on the opening leg, only to be passed by the USA’s Shamier Little on the second leg. Belgium moved back into the lead at the bell, on the strength of a 44.01 leg by Jonathan Sacoor. The USA was second in the same time as Belgium, while Great Britain was third and the Netherlands was almost a full second behind.

On the final lap, Femke Bol had the baton for the Dutch team, and bided her time into the backstretch, seemingly running easily. On the final turn and the straight, she moved ahead to give the Netherlands the gold medal, splitting 48.00 for her anchor leg, as the Netherlands missed the nascent world record by only 0.02 seconds.
