Jamaica’s 4x400m Quartet Moves on From Dropped Baton

Jamaica’s Shiann Salmon says they have already put the disappointment of not completing the 4-by-400 metres relay final at the Paris Olympics behind them.

The quartet of Stacey-Ann Williams, Andrenette Knight, Salmon, and Stephanie Ann McPherson were in a position to give Jamaica its seventh medal.

However, Knight, who was in second position on the second leg, had the baton knocked from her hand by an athlete from Ireland.

This ended any opportunity for the women to produce their second medal of the Games.

Salmon says she was heartbroken when the baton fell from her teammate’s hand.
