If you love fast-paced track action, the 4x100m relay is the event that never disappoints. Four sprinters, four handoffs, and a dash for the finish line – it’s pure excitement in under a minute. On Zulu Surf Riders Daily we bring you the most recent race outcomes, breaking news about team line‑ups, and tips on how to stay up‑to‑date with this sprint showdown.
Last weekend the African Championships saw South Africa grab gold with a time of 38.21 seconds, edging out Kenya by just two hundredths. The winning team featured seasoned sprinter Thabo Mokoena and rising star Lerato Dlamini, whose smooth baton exchange made all the difference. In Europe, the Dutch squad set a new national record at the World Relays, clocking 37.85 seconds – a performance that’s now being called one of the best in recent years.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Commonwealth Games are already stirring talk. Jamaica is expected to field its usual powerhouse trio, but Kenya has hinted at a surprise inclusion of a long jumper turned sprinter for the fourth leg. Those kinds of changes can shake up predictions fast, so keep an eye on team announcements as they drop.
The best way to stay on top of relay action is to follow live streams from official broadcasters and use social media hashtags like #4x100Relay or #SprintRelay. Websites such as World Athletics provide real‑time timing sheets, while local sports portals often share behind‑the‑scenes videos of baton exchanges – those are gold for anyone wanting to understand the technical side.
