Jamaica's Relay Dominance Shines | Jamaica News
Description
Jamaica’s women’s 4x100m relay team smashed the world’s fastest time this year with a blistering 42.89s, clinching their fourth straight U20 title and leaving the U.S. team out of the final. Shanoya Douglas delivered an anchor masterclass, sealing gold for her team after trailing Switzerland—while Belgium stunned with a national junior record. On the men’s side, Jamaica’s relay squad took bronze with a season-best 39.01s, falling short of defending their title but still behind record-setting U.S. and GB squads. Earlier, Joseph Salmon earned Jamaica’s first medal of the day with bronze in men’s discus (63.37m), trailing U.S. gold and Estonian silver. Jamaica closed with eight total medals—two gold, three silver, three bronze—and finished fourth overall, while the U.S. dominated with 24 medals.
