    World Athletics Championships: Melissa Jefferson-Wooden capped a dazzling campaign with her third gold medal on Sunday, guiding the United States to victory in the women's 4x100-metre relay on a rain-soaked final day at the World Athletics Championships at the National Stadium here.

    Jefferson-Wooden, already a double sprint champion in Tokyo, led off for a U.S. squad that also featured Twanisha Terry, Kayla White, and Sha'Carri Richardson. The quartet clocked 41.75 seconds, edging Jamaica by just 0.04s. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Tia Clayton, Tina Clayton, and Jonielle Smith combined for a season's best 41.79, while Germany took bronze in 41.87.

    "It's crazy to be going home with three gold medals," Jefferson-Wooden said. "I added my name to the history books once again. I am right where I want to be."
