PARIS (Reuters) - The United States’ gamble of starting their 4x400 metres relay team with 16-year-old Quincy Wilson almost backfired spectacularly on Friday, until Chris Bailey rescued the red-hot favourites on the last leg to secure progress to the final.
There was drama for Botswana too after lead-off Leungo Scotch got injured in the warm-up, leading to the last-minute - and highly successful - addition of Letsile Tebogo, who was at the track only to loosen up after his 200m victory on Thursday night.
