USA dominates relay events in Budapest 2023

"I don't feel like I'm the fastest, but I'm happy that my teammates helped me take the lead," said Benjamin. "After 400m hurdles, I want to come back and run at the end of this relay. Earning the trust of my teammates means a lot to me."

In the women's 4x400m event, the Netherlands exploded in the sprint to win the gold medal.
