Another gold for Jamaica!

Women's mile relay

Gold Jamaica 3:24.00
Silver Nigeria 3:25.29
Bronze botswana 3:26.86

Christine Day to anastasia Leroy to Janieve Russell to Stephanie Mcpherson were in complete command. The only blip was the handover from Day to Leroy but Leroy stamped her authority and Jamaica dominated for the rest of the race.

Women's sprint relay final

Gold England 42.46
Silver Jamaica 42.52
Bronze Nigeria 42.75

Fourth Trinidad 43.50

Jamaica had a poor exchange between the first and second legs, and Elaine Thompson received the baton just behind the Nigerian. Thompson overhauled Nigeria, and nearly caught England, but it was just too much to do.

Asha Philip gave England a bullet start, while Dina Asher-Smith had a storming second leg.

I remember watching the Commonwealth games in Malaysia and it was the same thing, so many empty seats. Swimming always seems a bit more populated like Lily said
