The I.A.A.F World Relays recently held in the Bahamas provided an opportunity for athletes from the Central American and Caribbean countries to show their mettle at the highest global level in a variety of relay events. The Jamaican men powered their way to gold in both the 4×100 and 4×200 metre events while the competitors from Trinidad and Tobago took second place honours in the 4×100 metres and set a National record in winning bronze medals in the 4×400 metre event. The hometown Bahamians, Olympic champions in 2012 rode a wave of raucous support in the 4×400, finishing just short of the victorious United States quartet, battling them to the line in the four-lap relay.
