2021 Olympic Men's 4x100m Relay Results

Italy Wins Historic Gold

In a stunning upset, Italy has won its first-ever Olympic gold medal in the men's 4x100-meter relay. The Italian quartet of Lorenzo Patta, Marcell Jacobs, Eseosa Desalu, and Filippo Tortu crossed the finish line in a time of 37.50 seconds, beating out Great Britain (37.51 seconds) and Canada (37.70 seconds).

Jacobs Backs Up 100-Meter Victory

The victory was particularly impressive for Jacobs, who had already won gold in the men's 100-meter dash earlier in the Games. Jacobs ran the second leg of the relay and handed off to Desalu with a slight lead. Desalu extended the lead on the third leg, and Tortu held on for the win on the anchor leg.

Canada's Second Straight Bronze

Canada's bronze medal was its second straight in the men's 4x100m relay. The Canadian team of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney, and Andre De Grasse ran a time of 37.70 seconds. The United States, which had won the gold medal in the previous two Olympics, finished fourth in 37.77 seconds.

Jamaica Disappoints

The biggest disappointment of the race was Jamaica, which failed to medal for the first time since 2000. The Jamaican team of Yohan Blake, Warren Weir, Usain Bolt, and Asafa Powell was disqualified after Blake false started.

Conclusion

Italy's victory in the men's 4x100m relay was a historic moment for the country. It was the first time that Italy had ever won a gold medal in the event, and it was a testament to the team's hard work and dedication. The victory will give Italy a boost of confidence as it heads into the future, and it will inspire other countries to dream big.
