World Athletics Championships: Canada stun US to win men's 4x100 relay gold

Eugene: Canada upset pre-race favourites the United States to win the men's 4x100m relay at the World Athletics Championships on Sunday (IST).

The Unites States, who took all six medals in the men's 100m and 200m, led all the way in the first three legs, but were overtaken by Canada in the final leg due to a messy baton pass. The Canadian team of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse won in a world lead time of 37.48, 0.07 seconds ahead of the US team. Britain took the bronze in 37.83.

The United States won the women's 4x100m relay with a world leading time of 41.14 seconds. Jamaica, led by Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce who took the 100m gold and 200m silver a few days ago, finished just 0.04 seconds behind to take the silver, while Germany pocketed the bronze in 42.03.
