Canada is golden in the men's 4x100m relay.

After finishing silver to Italy at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Canada's lineup of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse got redemption at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Canada finished with a winning time of 37.50 seconds, anchored by De Grasse's burning final leg of the race. It beat out South Africa (37.57) and Great Britain (37.61) to finish atop the podium while defending gold medalist Italy finished fourth at 37.68 seconds.

The United States, which was competing without track star Noah Lyles due to COVID-19 , had a nightmare run right off the bat. Christian Coleman and Kenny Bednarek had a poor baton exchange that led to disqualification. Team USA's 20-year medal drought in the 4x100m will roll into the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
