Great Britain’s women claimed Olympic 4x100m relay silver before the men’s team took bronze in two thrilling races at a rain-sodden Stade de France.
Dina Asher-Smith, Imani Lansiquot, Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita had two tricky changeovers as the rain fell in Paris but Neita was superb on the anchor leg.
She almost overhauled 100m silver medallist Sha’Carri Richardson down the final straight, but the American crossed first in 41.78 seconds.
Britain clocked 41.85secs, with Germany third in 41.97.
Zharnel Hughes then starred for the men on the anchor leg, running a superb final few metres to secure a medal for the quartet of Hughes, Jeremiah Azu, Louie Hinchliffe and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake.
Canada took victory in a season’s best 37.50, with South Africa second in 37.57 and Britain third with 37.61.
The United States – without 100m champion Noah Lyles, who contracted Covid earlier in the week – were disqualified for a disastrous first changeover.
