Richardson then put forward a dominant performance, taking the team from fourth to first position and clinching the gold medal with a lead. Team USA clocked 41.78s, Great Britain took the silver with a time of 41.85s seconds, with Germany taking home the bronze medal with a time of 41.97s.Alexis Ohanian took to X to react to the incredible victory by replying to a tweet made by Gabby Thomas.
