The final day of competition in Rio was full long distance races, a couple of relays, and a diving event where a US champion hoped to repeat his success. In the relays, the US Team shined brightest striking gold in the men's and women's 4x400m. Jamaica, this time around, could only be second best. This last day of competition proved one thing unequivocally, Team USA is a force to be reckoned with.
