MAKWALA LEADS AFRICA TO VICTORY IN 4 X 400 RELAY IAAF 2014 Continental cup Men’s 4 X 400 relay result: 1. Africa - 3:00.02 2. Europe - 3:00.10 3. Americas - 3:02.78 4. Asia-Pacific - 3:03.77 Europe and the Americas were about level after the first exchange, but Isaac Makwala ran a storming second leg to give Africa the lead at half way. Kim Collins then, somewhat surprisingly, ran third leg for the Americas as he chased Saviour Kombe of Africa hard, but the 38-year-old suffered on the home straight, dropping to third. Wayde van Niekerk and Martyn Rooney received the baton almost level on the last leg, but Van Niekerk held off the European champion to win in 3:00.02, just 0.08 ahead of Europe. World 400m champion LaShawn Merritt and Japan’s Julian Jrummi Walsh both ran sterling final legs, but were too far behind to make an impact as Americas and Asia-Pacific finished third and fourth respectively. - IAAF
