With the Soviet teams finally broken up, the USA was favoured to win. It was fastest in the heats with 3:22.71, (thanks to sub-50 legs by Graham and Malone). Nigeria led after the first leg in the final, with individual semi-finalist Afolabi 3m up with 51.13. The tall (1.80/64kg) Yusuf burned off Goncharenko and Malone with her 49.73, giving Nigeria a lead of 8m at halfway. Graham then gave the USA a winning chance, making up 15m on Opara to put her team 6m ahead at the final exchange. Miles needed all her experience to hold off Ogunkoya who closed to within a metre before tiring too much to dent the lead further. Fastest of all on the anchor leg was Breuer, who gained 5m on the leading two in the last 30m.
