A great relief for Paul

The biggest question in the women’s final was whether Vemke Poll could help the Dutch relay team win after she fell while leading in the last meters of the first day of the mixed relay and lost the baton. This time the Jamaicans and the British really applied the pressure. Dutch runner Evelyn Salberg handed over the responsibility to Likke Clavier, who finished third by a large margin, and caught up with her. He was followed by Chatelain-Peters, who dropped back again, and Paul, who reached the final of the 400m by 15m.
