World Athletics Championships: USA storm to another crushing 4x400m men's relay gold

Oregon): The United States maintained their stranglehold of the men's 4x400 metres relay on Sunday as they won World Championships gold in utterly dominant style in front of a delirious home crowd. The United States have now won eight of the past nine world titles and eight of the past 10 Olympic golds and Sunday's crown never looked in doubt. Elija Godwin and Bryce Deadmon were retained from the semi-finals with newly-crowned individual gold medallist Michael Norman and Champion Allison, fourth in the final, drafted in and each man extended the lead as they came home in two minutes, 56.17 seconds.

CWG 2022: Will rest and reset work for Lovlina Borgohain?

Olympic bronze winner keen to put behind World Championships setback"You learn more from a defeat than a victory," were Tokyo bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain's words after her shocking pre-quarterfinal exit from the World Boxing Championships in May, her first major tournament in 278 days post her heroics in the Olympic Games. Away from the ring for more than nine months, fulfilling sponsorship commitments and attending innumerable felicitation events, Lovlina, by her own admission wasn't mentally strong and was unable to handle match pressure at the Worlds in Turkey. The lanky Assamese pugilist did manage to cross the first hurdle by beating her old nemesis, former world champion Nien-Chin Chen of the Chinese Taipei by a split decision verdict, before going down 1-4 to Cindy Ngamba of the Fair Chance Team in the next round, to bring the curtains down on her maiden campaign in the 70kg class.
