It marks Australia\u2019s second ever silver at the event, with the team showing depth by swapping out three athletes from the heats.<\/p>\n

Their performance led a strong campaign for Australia, with four relay teams\u2014the men\u2019s, women\u2019s, and mixed 4x400m, plus the men\u2019s 4x100m\u2014qualifying for the World Championships in Tokyo. Carla Bull also ran in the mixed 4x100m, which placed fourth, while the men\u2019s 4x100m team (featuring Lachlan Kennedy and possibly 17-year-old Gout Gout in future) impressed in qualifying with 38.31 sec.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s 4x400m narrowly missed a 41-year-old Aussie record, running 2:59.73. Internationally, Britain\u2019s women shocked favorites Jamaica and the USA to win the women\u2019s 4x100m.<\/p>\n
