Victoria Ohuruogu, Laviai Nielsen, Nicole Yeargin, Amber Anning, Yemi Mary John*, Hannah Kelly*, Jodie Williams*, Lina Nielsen* The women's 4 x 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.

For the final, USA replaced three of the team members, Quanera Hayes, Aaliyah Butler and Kaylyn Brown in the heats, with 400 metres hurdle champion and world record holder, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, 200 metre champion Gabrielle Thomas and Alexis Holmes.

Stacey-Ann Williams took the early lead for Jamaica in lane 8, almost swallowing up the entire 3-turn stagger gap to France's Sounkamba Sylla to her outside before the end of the backstretch.

Running a more controlled pace to her inside, Little and Lieke Klaver NED gained that last 100, Little passing to McLaughlin-Levrone clearly in the lead.

Andrenette Knight JAM had a slight lead on Cathelijn Peeters NED, but Ireland had also put their star Rhasidat Adeleke on second leg.

In pursuit, GBR had Amber Anning, part of the University of Arkansas super sweep at the NCAA meet, Ireland had Sharlene Mawdsley, who had already produced a 49.40 split earlier in the year and NED had Femke Bol with a slew of remarkable anchor performances over the last three years.

Holmes pressed all the way to the finish, USA winning impressively with 3:15.27, coming just 0.1 second short of the Soviet 1988 World and Olympics record.

In addition to McLaughlin-Levrone 's split, Bol's anchor was automatically timed in 48.00, the ninth fastest in history.

For Little, primarily a 400 metres hurdler, #7 of all time, this was her second relay medal at these Olympics, this one gold, which was her first appearance after failing to qualify against the tidal wave of McLaughlin-Levrone and Dalilah Muhammad since 2016.
