Team USA won the gold medals in both the men’s and women’s 4x400m relays at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The margin of victory for the women was absolutely astounding.

The women dusted the field in their race and won by nearly four seconds. They posted a combined time of 3:16.85, while Poland’s time of 3:20.53 was good enough for silver.

Check out how far behind the pack was as Athing Mu crossed the finish line:
