Alex Haydock-Wilson, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Lewis Davey, Charlie Dobson, Samuel Reardon*, Toby Harries* The men's 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in two rounds at the Stade de France in Paris, France, on 9 and 10 August 2024.

A great deal of social media enthusiasm was generated when 16-year-old, high school junior Quincy Wilson finished 6th at the US Trials, entitling him to be on the US relay squad.

He handed off to veteran Vernon Norwood, twice Wilson's age who ran a 43.6 to bring USA past Poland into 6th place.

Christopher Bailey had to run all out for most of the anchor lap, only having the opportunity to relax once he had clearly passed Kentaro Sato of Japan to secure the third automatic qualifying position for the team behind Botswana and GBR.

Belgium also lost the services of their World Indoor Champion Alexander Doom due to injury.

This year, mistakes are not evident and they are planning for a winning strategy using their star Tebogo strategically in the heats and putting him on anchor in the final.

Over the last 100 metres, the early leaders slowed while Kounta, Bailey (USA) and Jonathan Sacoor (BEL) closed strongly, Botswana handing off to Busang Kebinatshipi slightly ahead of USA to Norwood, Belgium to Dylan Borlée slightly ahead of GBR to their star Matthew Hudson-Smith even with France to Gilles Biron.

That was temporary, coming off the turn, Pesela passed him back and went on a charge after Deadmon while Davey faded into the distance.

Could the strong hurdler, Benjamin, hold off one of the fastest men in the world running twice his normal distance?
