World Athletics Relays 2025 Results Day 1: TeeTee Terry’s USA to go up against Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s Jamaica in women's 4x100m relay finals

The 2025 World Athletics Relays began on Saturday, May 10, in Guangzhou, People’s Republic of China. The competition features six relay categories, most of which offer qualification spots for the upcoming World Athletics Championships, except for the mixed 4x100m relay.

For the World Championships in Tokyo scheduled from September 13 to 21 this year, qualification opportunities will be available on both days of the meet in the men’s and women’s 4x100m and the men’s, women’s, and mixed 4x400m relays.

Meanwhile, the mixed 4x100m relay is being introduced to the World Athletics Relays for the first time but will not be included in the global championships.

On Day 1, the United States delivered dominant performances in the mixed and women's 4x400m relay events as they recorded the fastest times among all participating nations at the World Athletics Relays. Spain also impressed with a 42.18s finish in the women's 4x100m relay, emerging as the top qualifier ahead of Jamaica, whose team featured Tina Clayton, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Tia Clayton and Shericka Jackson, who clocked 42.51s.

In the same race, the USA placed fourth overall and topped their heat with the quartet of Mikiah Brisco, Caisja Chandler, Kayla White, and Twanisha 'TeeTee Terry, finishing in 42.86 seconds at the World Athletics Relays. Notably, the finals for all events are scheduled for Sunday, with six more qualifying spots for the World Championships still up for grabs in five disciplines.
