TOKYO (Reuters) -The United States convincingly won the 4x400m mixed relay for the third time in the event's four world championship outings on Saturday, gaining some measure of revenge on the Netherlands, who beat them in last year’s Olympics.

The popular event was first run in 2019 when the U.S. won and they dramatically triumphed again in 2023 after managing only bronze on home soil in Eugene in 2022.
