The 4×400 meters is one of the traditional ways to end the World Championships, and at @runblogrun, we think it is one of the very best.

I recorded the crowd, the fine announcing and provided some comments on this audio of the last event in the London 2017 World Championships. It was an intense event as Trinidad and Tobago provided a great surprise for the weary United States team.
It was a great ending to the fine championships. It already has us wondering, how can Doha 2019 top London 2017?
