12 electric photos of Team USA's gold medal win during the women's 4x100m relay
The women’s 4×100-meter relay final was run in the rain, and it was ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING.
Oh, baby. I didn’t think I could love the rain any more than I did Friday. Rain is usually bad for track and field athletes. All kinds of things can happen, including falls and dropping the baton. But the rain was no match for Team USA.
