Sha'Carri Richardson's classic anchor leg run ensured Team USA qualified for the women's 4x100m final in Tokyo.

Team USA's women's 4x100m squad cruised to the final in domineering form, anchored by Sha'Carri Richardson, who stormed to a world-leading time at the Tokyo 2025 World Championships.

Competing in heat 2 and with a target to match or surpass the Jamaican women's squad, who earlier won heat 1 in an impressive 41.80s, the American quartet of Jacious Sears, Tee Tee Terry, Kayla White, and Richardson rose to the occasion as they cruised to a world-leading time of 41.60s.

Germany's Gina Luckenkemper anchored her country to the second position in a Season's Best (SB) of 41.86s, while Great Britain settled for third in 41.88s to also book their spots in the final.

Meanwhile, in heat 1, the Jamaican quartet of Jodean Williams, Tia Clayton, Tina Clayton, and Jonielle Smith powered to a SB of 41.81s, finishing ahead of Spain in 42.53s, and France in a SB 42.71s.
