The United States won their 14th gold medal at the Doha Worlds (Qatar), equaling their record, dominating Sunday as expected the men's 4x400m.
The Americans (Fred Kerley, Michael Cherry, Wilbert London and Rai Benjamin) dominated in Jamaica in 2:56:59 (Akeem Bloomfield, Nathon Allen, Terry Ricardo Thomas and Demish Gaye in 2: 57.90) and Belgium (Jonathan Sacoor, Robin Vanderbemden, Dylan Borlée and Kevin Borlée in 2: 58.78).
The French relay (Ludvy Vaillant, Christopher Naliali, Thomas Jordier and Mame-Ibra Anne) finished 7th (3: 03.06).
The United States made a real raid Sunday on the last day of the World 100m hurdles (Nia Ali title before Kendra Harrison) and relay (titles on 4x400 m women and men).
With 29 medals including 14 in gold, they dominate the final medal table in front of Kenya (11 medals, 5 titles) and Jamaica (11 medals, 3 titles).
France concludes catastrophic worlds with only two podiums (silver Quentin Bigot hammer, bronze Martin Martin-Lagarde on 110 m hurdles) and a 24th place in the medal standings.
