PARIS, France — Records are being broken daily at the 2024 Olympics.
That was the case on the track, Friday, as Team USA's mixed relay team hit the lanes.
Vernon Norwood, Shamier Little, Bryce Deadmon and Kaylyn Brown ran 3:07.41 in qualifying for the 4x400 meter relay. It broke the world record of 3:08.80 -- by nearly a full second -- set by fellow Americans just the year before at the 2023 world championships in Budapest, Hungary.
You can watch the team shatter the record in the electrifying moment below:
Norwood led off the race before handing the baton to Little.
Little extended Team USA's lead before Deadmon pulled far away of the pack. Brown anchored the race and turned up the heat down the back stretch. Instead of laying off on speed, Brown kept up the pace, ultimately leading the team to set the new world record.
France and Belgium finished behind the U.S. in the group's heat.
